open the list in your data pad and count them, but count the very first on as 0, the second as 1 ect...

It is basically guessing as it changes as you drop or add skills that grant you schematics. Best thing to do is open tool you are using (be next to crafting station if the schematic requires one) then use
/sel ### (replace with a number)
Then see which item it tries to craft. Look in your datapad and see where that item is in relation to the item you want your macro to craft. Then go higher or lower with the select draft command. Keep doing this until you get the one that you want. Place that one in your macro and start it up. I know it is a pain to have to do it this way but only way I know of to find out schematic number.

the technical way to figure it out is to start counting since they are in order (assuming you didnt sort the schematics already). However you have to skip the schematics that cannot be used with the tool you are using to craft. But that is a good way to figure it out.. guess-timate the number based on its order, then go with a higher or lower number..
because you know it would be to hard to add a # to the display on what schematic # it is when you craft

Ok this is so stupid. I hate crafting. Anyways thank God for macros.
Sword = #89
Metal Staff is to the right of it.
When I enter in #90 I get Weapon Upgrade kit. What gives? I tried #88 and #91 and other adjacent numbers, no dice. Can anyone help me here? This is getting really REALLY irritating.

no sorry, you just have to keep trying until you get lucky... It varies depending on the tool type you are using too (so don't use a mix of generic on W,D & G tools...)

Make sure you're standing in front of a private crafting station/droid when counting schematics. Even if you can't see the schematic due to not being near one, it counts toward the number.

Try changing the view so you get a list, the schems are then in numerical order

Hmmm. I went through the same thing. A lot of conflicting information regarding crafting macros. What finally worked for me was the following:
a). Do not stand anywhere near the crafting station (I picked mine up or went to the park across the street to do my grinding).
b). Contrary to the statement made above - in my situation the schematics that do not show up when the crafting station was not used did NOT count as schematics. Therefore, lets say, I was grinding on schematic 146 with the station in use, when removed it became schematic 139.
So, to resolve the issue for myself I first removed the loop mechanism (I use two separate macros and have them loop to each other). Then, since I was using 4 tools with each macro - I cut it to one. I made sure that worked first. I did have to play with the schematic number a bit to get it to run. You can tell from the example above it took me 7 tries to get it to run. Then I added one crafting station, then another and finally the last. I did the same for the second macro.
A couple of things I did find. Sometimes when you use a /pause 1; it does not work. So, I increased that to /pause 2; Also, on the last tool I increased the final pause to /pause 5; Now, even after all that every once in a while my macro would lock up. I was using 8 tools with delays of 5 so there should not have been an issue. But every once in a while I got the "You are already crafting" message. This is when I figured the increase in second delay from /pause 1 to /pause 2.
Finally, I could not get the abbreviated commands to work properly so I used the long forms. I hope this helps you. It is definately worth the effort to get the macro to run!
