    Type in the numbers 1, 2, 3 in the columns as you want the rest to go, highlight them and drag down from the corner of the bottom cell

    In cell A1 type 1
    In cell B1 type = A1+1
    Drag cell B2 down by the handle in the bottom right hand corner of the cell.

    Or if you don't fancy filling down 500 rows, type 1 in the starting cell, click that cell then on the Edit menu click Fill - Series. Select Columns, Linear, Step value 1, Stop 500. OK
