Maybe

=ROW()

you could write 1 to 3 on the 3 rows then highlight the it and drag it down.

How far down do you want to number? To number column B until the last entry in column A:

Sub AutoNum()
 
Dim rngStart, rngC As Range
 
Set rngStart = Range(Cells(1, "B"), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row, "B"))
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
For Each rngC In rngStart
    rngC.Value = rngC.Row
Next rngC
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 
End Sub

thanks...
your code works fine...
it enters the number of the row...

i want the numbers from 1 to n to be entered in column B starting from row 4

i did a small modification to ur code and got the result in column B line number starting from 4...

i want it to start at 1 in column B row 4

Sub AutoNum()
Dim rngStart, rngC As Range
Set rngStart = Range(Cells(4, "B"), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row, "B"))
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rngC In rngStart
    rngC.Value = rngC.row
Next rngC
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rngC In rngStart
    rngC.Value = rngC.row-3
Next rngC
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
