You want to create a dynamic numbered list in Excel? You have different ways of creating numbered lists. The one most people use is to input numbers in the first two cells and then drag down the fill handle to fill up the next sequence of numbers. That's not always the best approach. In this video, I'll show you 3 reasons why you don't want to just drag down to create a numbered list in Excel. Especially if you have long repeated lists that frequently change. In this case, it's much better to create a dynamic solution that updates automatically. I'll show you how to use the SEQUENCE function in Microsoft Excel to do just that. You'll also learn how to combine SEQUENCE with Excel's custom number formatting to get text before the numbers for example "No.1", "No.2" etc.

OK, I just fixed that. Use =ROW()-ROW(Table1[#Headers]) (Replace "Table1" with the name of your table.) That anchors the number to the row that the table headers are in, and so the numbers never change if the table is moved.

Damn my 2016 version doesn't have it. "The SEQUENCE function is only available with Microsoft 365 subscriptions and Excel 2021. In Excel 2019, Excel 2016 and earlier versions, it does not work since those versions do not support dynamic arrays"

Only issue is that it doesn't respect sorting. So if you're using it as an index and sort by a different column then the index doesn't follow the row data. Or am I missing something?

I am a dragger and I will continue to drag in certain circumstances. The most important one is when I want to sort rows by different other columns, but I want to keep the order when I want to come back to the original table. But I will adopt the sequence function for other situations. Thank you, Leila! 🙂

I do both, but in most circumstances, I prefer a static rather than a dynamic index. It helps in going back to prior states of ordering/sorting, as well as serve as a permanent index number for look ups. The dynamic option is helpful only for end-state presentation.

Dragger/autofiller. And for large matrices that don't have existing columns, I use the FIll --> Series option. The problem with the SEQUENCE function, or any *dynamic* formula-based numbering system, is that the COUNTA with entire row (B:B) as input is a lot of unnecessary computation overhead, especially when you have multiple output tables across sheets. It doesn't matter for small books or those without much calculation, but this is exactly the use-case where dragging (or Fill -> Series) is sufficient. Then, for those cases when you have large tables or a lot of dynamic formulas and UDFs linked to user interactions, streamlining unnecessary formulae becomes imperative.

Yep. A lot of these new Excel functions appear to be for casual users. I posted a comment that allows me to do the exact thing that "=sequence()" does with an "=if" statement. I prefer my way if I needed a dynamic count. But in the end I copy over the formulas with values only to eliminate the unnecessary calculations.

I'm a dragger for short lists and a double clicker for longer lists. I like to double click on the bottom right corner to get that drag effect, w/o having to drag. It's very helpful when you have a long list that extends beyond what's visible on the screen. The only issue is that it will stop once it gets to an empty cell, which is normally not an issue, but it is when not all cells in a data range are populated. I can see this sequence function being useful in a table as well.

Hi, Leila. I've never been a fan of dragging numbers down a column, so I wrote these formulas to address to inconvenience: First cell =IF([@Date]"","1","") / subsequent cells =IF(D6"",C5+1,""). Even these formulas don't work dynamically, but they were in improvement over dragging. Now that I've seen how you use the SEQUENCE function + custom formatting, I'm squarely in the dynamic column. As always, you've been a lifesaver. THANKS!

Use both depending on circumstances. With a large existing list where I want to use these as an index to the original order of the list (ie sortable), typing 1 then 2 and then double clicking on the small black square instead of dragging automatically fills in all the numbers for each active row of data. Simple but effective. For a more dynamic or increasing list, the dynamic option is great 😀

It depends on the list. Drag is quicker and simpler for lists that are (A) no taller than the height of a screen and (B) unlikely to have items removed/inserted, and also simpler to remember. That said, I do have a large task list spreadsheet that is regularly updated - this will be perfect for that, so many thanks for the tip!

I use reference to the previous number + 1. If we remove something from the middle, we have to fix 1 ref error and we are back on track. Please note that in both of these methods, we aren't relying on the number/serial as unique key for lookups/index/match as the numbers will update with the changes in list structure. They have to be hard coded for correct results in lookups.

I'm a dragger but I use it for more than numbering lists: Sequential dates, for example. Patterns are detected so that if you have 110.75 and under it 120.75 and select both to copy it will add 130.75, 140.75 etc.This works with dates as well so you can increment just by month or year if you like. Also if you select a single cell with a single number such as '5' and then copy down with the CTRL key pressed it will increment from that number, you don't have to use a pattern.

It depends on the purpose. I often introduce lists that are meant to grow. So they should have an id that is not the row number and they should NOT dynamicslly change because the whole purpose of the row id is to have single simple and stable identifier. Adding an indicator like auto format for duplicate ids plus a hinting field with the max value often helps avoiding messing up the ids. In other cases we use timestamps or arbitrary strings (cat walks over keyboard) just to get unique but stable ids. No one of us has ever figured out a nice dynamic and trustworthy way but I bet vba could serve that. Really, if you just need an ordered list sequence is probably the best. If you want to keep track of your rows you shouldnt go too dynamic as you'll lose track. Like that email telling you to do step 302. Well, that was when step 302 was "eat lunch" in the current version of the file 302 is "go for a walk". Hard fail in any work done based on excel lists! So, it depends on the application. No one does sequence or drag for the sequence or the drag but for the purpose it should serve.

I think it depends on the use. If you plat to create a "fixed" table, that you do not plan to expand in the immediate future, you may find dragging more immediate. Planning a more "liquid" table instead, may be worth an additional work in order to eleminate a concern later on. As old Obi Wan kenoby used to say, "many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view": it works for Star Wars, for life and, it seems, for Excel too. PS: another little trick (nothing exciting), derived from the suggestion from Umlas: try ="No. " & SEQUENCE(COUNTA(B:B)-1) & " of " & COUNTA(B:B)-1" ...

I'm trying to get myself to use tables for these types of things. Using Excel Tables for database-type stuff works great!

For one off one shot sheets that won’t change dragging is probably fine but the sequence method is good if a lot of people are going to be working on a sheet or a lot of edits are expected. I love this tip!

Dragger. Teaching others about the black dot in the lower right corner was a treat, but this is WAY more dynamic. Cool succinct tip! (I wish so many other Excel users knew "Ctrl + Home" and "Ctrl + End" instead of scrolling...)

Dragger - BUT I never knew about this function OR that you could custom format your number columns that way. I’ll be adding both of these to my repertoire - thank you!
