Sheet B pulls data table from Sheet A. Sheet A is my base sheet for inputting data and will use Sheet B and other similar tabs to pull info from A and run calcs accordingly.

Question is about adding rows to data table in Sheet A. Will often have to append data in Sheet A by inserting rows in middle of data like shown/highlighted. How do I ensure the tracker ID column starts at 1 and counts sequentially all way to bottom, even with the newly inserted rows. Thanks in advance!

Look into SEQUENCE and/or COUNT/COUNTA. A combination of both can also make the column automatically update assuming the data is formatted as a Table.

“=row()-4” in the cell that should have ID 1 , copy paste down. I. Assuming your ID 1 starts in row 4, if not change the 4 in the formula to whatever row you start on.

Upvote this response. This is the correct consistent solution for a table

Can B not just be a pivot table you refresh with added rows?

Try the subtotal function

= Previous Row's ID + 1.

For example:
C11 would be = C10 + 1

Then drag the formula down. C10 should be the only hard inputted number, 1.

A little confused haha, by "above" are you referring to if you add rows before the first row of data, effectively pushing down number 1 to number XX?

Can you just make the ID be the row number? If you insert a row, it’ll auto update.
=row is the formula.
