Automatically Entering Serial Numbers
Serial numbers are essential for organizing data in Excel. Instead of entering them manually, you can use Excel's Autofill feature to quickly generate sequential numbers.
How to Automatically Enter Serial Numbers
- Step 1: Enter the starting number in the first cell of the column.
- Step 2: Drag the fill handle (bottom-right corner of the cell) down the column to autofill sequential numbers.
- Step 3: Release the mouse button when you reach the desired range.
- Step 4: Excel automatically generates consecutive serial numbers in the selected cells.
