If your data is in column B and you want to give serial numbers in column A then put following formula in A1 if your data starts in B1

=IF(A1<>"",COUNTA($A$1:A1),"") and copy this formula down in column A. now if you delete the data in column B serial numbers in col A will automatically be adjusted.

hope this serves your purpose.
