The children of this person without known descendants are each given a lower-case Roman numeral in order of their birth. The common ancestor whose descendants are being numbered is number one on the chart. It only includes blood-line descendants in the numbering, so spouses are not numbered.

To enter specific sequential number codes, such as purchase order numbers, you can use the ROW function together with the TEXT function. For more information, see Create or delete an Excel table in a worksheet. All rows that are added at the end of the table are numbered in sequence. If you are using the ROW function, and you want the numbers to be inserted automatically as you add new rows of data, turn that range of data into an Excel table. You can manually update the numbering by selecting two numbers that are in the right sequence, and then dragging the fill handle to the end of the numbered range. The sequence may be interrupted if you add, move, or delete rows. These numbers are updated when you sort them with your data. For more information, see Display or hide the fill handle. Tip: If you do not see the fill handle, you may have to display it first. ![]()
