Hello,

I would like counting of the rows to start at row 5, instead of row 1,
because it is just titles that do not need to be counted, in other words,
there is no data until row 5. How do I do this?
 
I'm guessing that you mean you want the row numbering to start on row 5.

Excel doesn't work that way.

You can show the row numbers or hide them.

But there's nothing stopping you from putting your own index numbers in column A
(insert a new column A if you want).

Then you can put whatever you want in those cells.
 
You cannot remove rows and start a new row 1 anywhere you wish.

If you want to see 1 in row 5 and 2 in row 6............

In A5 enter =ROW()-4

Drag/Copy down as far as you wish.

Turn off Display of row and column headings.

But that would be visual only.

Row 5 is still row 5
