Row Counter

If you anticipate that you might insert and delete rows below your title
headers,
Here's one way:

If your data *starts* in Row4 (titles in Row3),
Enter this in Row4:

=ROW()-3

And copy down as needed.

Or, you could simply *double* click on the fill handle, and have this
formula *automatically* copied down the column, as far as there's data in
the adjoining column.

Wow - I figured it would be something simple I had overlooked. Thanks
