I have a column in a RAID log called ID # and its column properties are # Auto Number

MasinMike

This column is auto generated when a new item is added in subsequent order. First item added gets an ID # 1, second item ID #2, etc....

We have 40 items in the log so far. I had an issue where I needed to delete the next 200 or so rows. Now, when the next item got added (should be ID # 41,) it is actually ID # 251. As if the sheet is still seeing the deleted rows.

Is there a way to "reset" things so the next ID is in fact 41?

Thanks!

You would have to delete the column, save the sheet, add the column back in, and make sure you set the starting number in the column properties before saving.

Got it! Thank you for the quick feedback.

I'll make a copy of it first and give it a try.

Cheers!
