Hi,

Here's one way to do it, applied to an example that takes less space:
With ten rows, say we want to count down from 365 to 358 in the middle
of the middle column ($2), leaving an empty row on top and bottom (@1
and @10).

Set the value of @2$2 to 365, either manually or (as below) in the table
formula. Then set the rest of the range from rows @3 down to @9 to
decrement by one from the cell above (@-1):

|   |     |   |
|   | 365 |   |
|   | 364 |   |
|   | 363 |   |
|   | 362 |   |
|   | 361 |   |
|   | 360 |   |
|   | 359 |   |
|   | 358 |   |
|   |     |   |
#+TBLFM: @2$2=365::@3$2..@9$2=@-1-1

Yours,
Christian
