I want to make a file in OO Calc. Column A needs a label

consecutive numbers from 1 on.
I understand the concept BUT NOT how to actually do it i.e
make the Unique Identifier
Depending on what the unique ID is for, in one app I use the date/time
function in the ISO format. If 1S isn't enough graduation, take it down to
milliseconds. Then you have the advanteage of having the date and time each
ID was created and it'll be automatically unique.
Unless, of course, your computer's clock starts playing silly fools.
I've seen it happen. Whether it actually matters depends on what sort of
catastrophe awaits when Murphy's Law strikes :-}
