Excel - Create serial numbers
Issue
I have an Excel file that shows different values of schedule of correspondence and some of the mails are gone to different addresses and the mail ref. colum (showed only once). I want to count the mails serially. How to create exact serial numbers?
I want to skip the rows that have no values i.e. ref of the mails.
Example :
04/02/2010 C. Fox Al-Futtaim Carillion M. LEWIS 04/02/2010 A. Simp Al-Futtaim Carillion I. AL-QUDAH M. LEWIS 04/02/2010 R. Pal Al-Futtaim Carillion A. Kumar M. LEWIS
Please provide a formula.
Solution
You Can Use ROW() function for generating serial numbers,
for example,
In A1 cell write:
=ROW() and press Enter,that will give 1 as answer.
Now click on A1(i.e. Select it)-> Press Ctrl+Shift+Down(to select the below fields which will get its serial now..) -> After selecting the column Goto--EDIT->FILL->DOWN
This will fill all the cells with the respective ROW number...
