How to get a list of numbers from 1 to 40
The range 1–40
is set automatically. Follow four steps:
- Format: “Column” or “Row.”
- Delimiter: comma, period, dash, space, “/”, “|” or your own symbol.
- Preview: see the result immediately in the preview panel.
- Generate & Copy: click “Generate,” then “Copy.”
Additional settings
Step (interval): enter an integer for sequences such as 3 → 3, 6, 9…
or 10 → 10, 20, 30…
.
Leading zeros: add zeros before numbers for uniform length: 001
, 002
… Perfect for SKUs and IDs.
Enclosing: choose characters before and after each number for brackets, quotes, or another style.
Delimiters
You can generate a list without a delimiter or select one of the standard options. For a custom symbol, choose “Custom.”

---|---|---|
Comma | , | 1,2,3,4,5 |
Comma + space | , | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
Space | 1 2 3 4 5 | |
Dash | – | 1-2-3-4-5 |
Period | . | 1.2.3.4.5 |
Period + space | . | 1. 2. 3. 4. 5 |
Vertical bar | | | 1|2|3|4|5 |
Slash | / | 1/2/3/4/5 |
Enclosing
By default there is no enclosing. To add brackets or custom symbols, select “Custom” and enter your characters.
Type | Before | After | Example |
---|---|---|---|
Round brackets | ( | ) | (1) |
Square brackets | [ | ] | [1] |
Curly braces | { | } | {1} |
Angle brackets | < | > | <1> |
Can’t find the symbol you need? Choose “Custom” and enter your own delimiter or enclosing characters.
