    make an existing non Consecutive column of numbers to be Consecutive

    I have an existing non Consecutive column of numbers that I need to make Consecutive. How do I insert the missing numbers in additional rows while preserving the other columns of data that go with the already existing rows? Below is a small example.
    The numbers in the right column are the ones I want to make consecutive.

    F-1366 763481
    P-2464 763484
    PD-1310 764416

    Thanks very much.

    could you please attach a workbook with about 10 lines of data?

    And what do you want to happen to the values in the left column? Repeat? Blank? In your small sample, would you expect to see the following as the result:

    F-1366 763481
    F-1366 763482
    F-1366 763483
    P-2464 763484
    P-2464 763485
    P-2464 763486
    P-2464 763487
    P-2464 763488
    .
    .
    .
    P-2464 764414
    P-2464 764415
    PD-1310 764416

    This macro should do the trick for you

    Another option, without looping through every cell (inserting a range of rows and filling via series):
