Generating sequence on CAS question

Hey guys,
So it is commonly known in further you have to sometimes deal with large data sets. To maximize efficiency I am trying to learn some tricks to make simple processes faster. I have been trying to generate a sequence for my x column on spreadsheets on my cas. This is for question where the x value goes to, say, 35. Instead of manually typing I am trying to generate a sequence but it seems to be skipping one value after the initial value.
Here is what I am putting in the sequence form.

Formula: U(n)= n+1
Initial terms: 0
n0: 0
nMax: 35
nStep: 1
Ceiling value: 35

For some reason this works perfectly, except the data goes as - 0,2,3,4,5,6,7 and so on.
It always skips the one.
If someone could help me out I would be very grateful.

Which CAS is this?

I know it's very easy to do on the Casio Classpad but the way you're describing sounds like it's the TLnspire one which I don't have nuch experience with

For the formula, try using u(n)=u(n-1)+1 and leave all other fields how you had them :)
