I have an excel sheet where the first column seems to be a running integer (excel sheet defined and not a user defined serial number), but sometimes it seems to miss a number or a bunch of numbers.
Why would this happen and how to avoid this? Note: We do excessive copying of rows and delete rows once in a while, but not sure why the running index is not being maintained by the excel sheet
It maybe as simple as hidden rows in your sheet. If so, then select the whole sheet (ctrl A) and then format->rows->unhide…
