Default Automatic numbering

I am trying to make a chart to use with the 1st column starting with an 8 digit number, and I want the next row down to start with that number, +1 . i.e. 22046025 and under that still in the same column, 22046026, etc.
I remember the old database spreadsheets where you could just right click and get a sequential number - what happened to easy?!
Thanks for any help,
Gadjett

Default Automatic numbering

You might try using an AutoNumber field, as long as you are aware that there
is no guarantee that it will always be sequential. Otherwise, you will have
to use code to do that.

"database spreadsheets"? shudder
