Type the number 1 in any cell and number 2 in the cell next to or below it.
Highlight both cells, place your mouse pointer over the bottom right corner
of the cell (Fill handle) until the mouser pointer changes to a small black
cross. Left click and drag down or across until 5000 is reached.

Run the following macro:

Sub gen_num()
Dim Row_count As Integer
Row_count = 1
Do While Row_count < 5001
Range("A" & Row_count).Value = Range("A" & Row_count).Row
Row_count = Row_count + 1
Loop
End Sub
