number cells in increasing order
How can i place numbers in the cells increasing in order from a column numbering such as 1,2,3,4,5 ???

fclusters If you are on a modern Excel version the formula below will generate a number sequence from 1 to 25 (just an example) from left to right, starting in the cell where you enter it.
=SEQUENCE(,25)
If you have an older Excel version that does not support the SEQUENCE function enter 1 in the first cell, let's say A1. Then enter in B1, =A1+1 , and copy it to the right as far as needed.
