For some reason my COUNTA function is returning one too many results (also how to quickly fill many cells with sequential numbers?)

I have COUNTA to read from A2, to 502, since that goes up the the '500' that I need. However, for some reason, the function is returning 501. The first cell it's reading, a2, starts at 0 (labeled with the number zero), then up to cell 502, which is labeled 500.

Also, for desktop/free use, is there a faster way to do sequential numbering. I had a tough time doing the =sequence function, and then I don't have access to some of the other fill tools, and since I'm just learning, I don't have the money for a subscription right now.
