Fix for: Autonumbering a column in Excel

Low Risk

Normally, you just fill A1 in with 1, fill A2 with the formula =A1+1, and then drag the black box on the bottom right of cell A2 down as far as you want to go. Alternately, you can always just use =ROW() to have to output the row number of the cell.
