I have a spreadsheet with column headings and column A is rank order. The spreadsheet is always in order beginning with 1. How do I reorder the list by cutting and pasting rows and have column A automatically re-rank them? For example if I want to move the person that is ranked 100 up to number 6, how do I move their row of data but have their column A change to #6 and all those below 6 update to their new rank since someone was inserted above them? I can do it in 2-3 steps, but it needs to be done quickly and on the fly so I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it automatically?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Assuming you have headers in row 1, put the following formula in column A (in as many cells as your data range requires)
Excel Formula:
=IF(B2<>"",ROW()-1,"")
