Although there is not a command to insert sequence numbers in Excel, you can insert sequence numbers in contiguous cells with clicking and dragging mouse.
Step 1: Enter 1 in a cell, and enter 2 in a cell beside the first cell.
Step 2: Select both the cells, and drag the fill handle 
across the range that you want to fill.

With dragging this fill handle, you can also fill the column of cells with sequence numbers such as these formats: “000-001,000-002,000-003…” and the sequence numbers with prefix “KTE-0001, KTE-0002, KTE-0003… ”.
Notes: 1. This way is only able to insert sequence numbers in contiguous cells.
2. If you want to create the sequence numbers with suffix or prefix and suffix, this method will not work.
