The easiest way is to do it as shown in the video, and then use a Math column to add 1 to the index. ---

Assuming you are referring to the Row Index method, use a math column to add 1 to the index. ---

Use a Pad Text column. > **[Pad Text at Start column | Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/pad-start)** > > Pads string on the left side if it's shorter than length. Padding characters are truncated if they exceed length. Just be aware that the result will be a string, not a number. ---
