As far as we know auto numbering will not work in merged cells. If you need to number a column that it is made up of different sized merged cells, when you try to drag the numbering it tries to resize the merge cells as well. Is there a way to number the merged cells without having to manually type the number?
For example, A1 is header, range A2:A15 is made up of different sized merged cells, see the following screen shot. How to fill number series in A2:A15?
We can use Excel formula to do it.
Step 1. Select the merged cells (in this example, select A2:A15).
Step 2. Press F2, or click the Formula Bar, enter the formula: =MAX(A$1:A1)+1.
Step 3. Press CTRL+ENTER.
useless
@yaseen Maybe you didn't know how to adapt the formula to your situation
Great! Thanks
Formula should be =MAX($A$1:A1)+1

@ahmer iqbal Formula in first cell should be =MAX($A$1:A1)+9233120
Formula in all subsequent rows should be =MAX($A$1:A1)+1
this formula is only for merged cell what about if merged and single cell is there?
@naveen It Works on both merged and single cell
@Hamza Is there any formula to sum and merge cells.

I want to weekend in this merged cell series... how can i do that ?
Hi,
It really helped, but I have one concern, how to start from row A1, here the example shows results form row A2. In the formula for cell A2, we include A1 as reference to find the maximum no. but what for cell A1, what should be the reference formula for cell A1??
Wow...Thank you so much, it saved my time , earlier i was manually entering the series nos.
Loved it, Thanks, It saves like 2 hours of hard work.
Though there was error for me, my total value supposed to come 2275, but it came 2285
There is "10" difference. I fixed the error manually.
Simple, clear... Many thanks!
I WANT MERGE CELL CONTINUE ...

hi bro....
I tried it, It works,
But i need addition , my merge cells are not even, May be 2 cells are merged, 3 cells are merged, in that case how can i proceed, Kindly support. Any help would be appreciated
Thnk you so much!
It works..first of all apply formula in all cell of column A then merge as need....it automatically take next number.
I tried this formula and I got the columns numbered
1
1
2
2
Any help would be appreciated.
@BAL You have to type the formula =MAX(A$1:A1)+1 if you are applying it from row2. If you are starting from row3 then formula will change to =MAX(A$1:A2)+1 and onwards accordingly.
=MAX(A$1:A1)+1 equals =ROW()-1, and not working as described in the screenshot!
@Mohammed Sorry!
It's my fault, I pasted the formula on a column other than "A".
It works as described.
