I would like to create a table with each row indexed by auto-increment.
I tried using A2=A1+1 or adding 1 to the previous value. This should be the solution according to this thread. However adding new rows (using the tab key or dragging the corner down) doesn't automatically increment the index column.
What's the solution?

If you reference =row(1:1) in the first row of your table, it will automatically fill in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. for as many rows as you have in your table. The formula will automatically generate to be =row(1:1) or 1, =row(2:2) or 2, =row(3:3) or 3, etc.
I use this to create a unique key in a table for table values.

Assume you want the ID to appear on Sheet1 column A. Create a single cell named range like 'nmID' and insert formula =MAX(Sheet1!A:A)+1. Select the appropriate cells on Sheet1 column A and click the Data Ribbon; Data Validation. Under Allow select List and under Source type in =nmID. This will create a drop down list in column A that will should give you the next sequential number. The benefit to this approach is that the number stays the same even if you sort your data.
