How do you increment numbers by 10000?
Hi,
may i ask how do you set a number in a series of 10000 in excel?
For example, i have a number 360000, and i want it to continuously increment in 10000. Say 370000, 380000, 390000.. etc in a column.
If I have some alphabet in the numbers, will excel able to increment the numbers like below as well?
Thank you!
Its better to have an identity column or a column with a Primary key.
Identity Column -> In SQL Server, an identity column is a special type of column that is commonly used as the primary key of a table. An identity column is a column whose values are generated automatically by the database system, typically incrementing by 1 for each new row added to the table. The purpose of an identity column is to provide a unique, sequential number for each row in the table.
Example -
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50),
age INT
);Update Statement -
UPDATE my_table
SET my_column = 'new_value'
WHERE my_column = 'old_value';You can manually update the same via GUI as well.
Hope it's clear------- If yes, reply and hit like ----- If not reply with your query in more detail----

To do that, select the cell with number, right click and hold the bottom right corner of that cell and drag it down for few cells and drag back to the original cell and release the right mouse button. Choose Series from the options and in the next popped window, select Columns and then specify the Step Value and Stop Value and then click ok to finish.
Refer to the following short demo video (without audio but I guess it's easy to follow).
