autonumber

Is there a way of getting a autonumber column to start at a particular value?
eg 950

I'm guessing that you are asking a MS Access question....

If that's true...I think this site has what you're looking for:

Does that help?

No the person wants it in excel (for some strange reason!)

the formula is =IF(A2<>"",ROW(B1),"") whish starts the autonumbers at 1 but
they would like it to start at 950?

Hi

Then just add 949 to the start value.
=IF(A2<>"",ROW(B1)+949,"")

=IF(A2<>"",ROW(B950),"")
