You can also use the COUNTA() function on the entire column. Just subtract one or two for the headings.

Your solution seems like more trouble than how I was shown how to do it. Go to whatever cell you want the first number to appear in, for example A1. Now go to the cell below it and type =A1+1 then copy the formula to the clipboard. Select however many cells you want to have a number in and paste the formula into every cell that you’ve selected. You will end up with row after row of ascending numbers.

Or you could use =Row()-2 and autofill by double clicking on the little box at the bottom right of that cell. Or you could use VBA to pull them into an array and really go crazy with Index/Match. Or you could ask why entering every runner in the order they finished was *fine* but entering their indices is a bridge too far. Sequence() is great. But Sequence(CountA()) reads like the scribblings of a madman to me XD

If you have earlier version of Excel and can't use the SEQUENCE function, then you can use ROW func. instead. It's dynamic too. ="# "&ROW() ---- if you are on a top row ="# "&ROW() - 1 or 2 or more ---- depends how many row you are lower than the top one.

That's better for this anyway. Sequence is nice for cross-sheet referencing of data sets, for sure. But there is no added value in this example.

The command: =Today() will return today's date and =Now() will return the date and time In ye olden times, I would just do the math. Windows stores dates as integers, where 1/1/1900 is 0, and every second counts up from there. Type =DateValue(Today()) into a cell and hit enter. This will return the current date as the integer excel uses to "count" days. Type this number into the first row of the column you want to have these dates. Hit enter. In this next cell, type =[the cell directly above, ie "B1" or whatever] + [the number of days you want to iterate between rows. call it 1 here. Autofill to bottom. Highlight the column, right click and select Format Cells. Using this menu, convert to the date format of your choosing. It's old. But it works.

Count the number of rows you have before your list of data starts. In this example it is 2 rows. In the desired column of the first row of your actual data, type ="# " & row() - X where X is that number of rows you counted. So here that would be ="# " & row() - 2 Then press enter, and the up arrow on your keyboard to return to that cell. Then double click on the little box that appears at the bottom right corner of the cell you typed that in. Have a snack.
