'Open-ended' sequential numbering of Rows in Excel...
I have been looking at the SEQUENCE function but, if I understand it correctly, you need to enter an end point for how many sequential numbers you want Excel to autofill (e.g. 1 to 1000)? Is there ...

I hope it is OK to ask a follow-up question on this Thread...
If I want to continue the automatic, sequential numbering of Rows on the next Worksheet in the SAME Workbook, is that possible?

Does this do what you want?
=SEQUENCE(COUNTA(B:B), , COUNTA('Sheet 1'!B:B)+1)
