How To Increment Alpha Number String
Sep 19, 2012
I have a log that I need to number starting in cell A1, as follows:
A-0001
A-0002
A-0003
etc.
I've put this formula in A2 to try an increment it by 1, but it just replicates the string in A1:
=LEFT(A1,3)&MID(A1,2,5)+1&RIGHT(A1,2)
with the proper syntax?...

I've got a worksheet here that i need to update every week. The problem i'm having is that i have a table of values that's drawing values in from another larger table. For example in B9 the cell is referenceing the I2 cell in another sheet. When i pull down the formula in B9 i want the cell below to reference J2 and so on. In other words, I only want the alpha characters to increment. Tried messing around with dollar signs but it doesn't seem to be doing what i want.

I have created a simple UserForm to enter new customer details to the Customer List in the spreadsheet, form works fine except for one little thing, which is New Customer ID, which works, but only with numeric values like 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Basically what I need this for to do is once form is opened/called new customer ID need to be created, which could be and Alfa numerical set of characters like AA-01234, AA-01235, AA-01236 and so on.
Also, is there a way of posting newly added Customer ID in the MsgBox along with MsgBox "One record added to Customers List. New Customer ID is "
All of my attempts to create this are failing and causing errors.Here is my code, Customer ID is TextBox1.
[Code]....

I have a problems here. The problems is attached in the file. I wanna extract alpha/char from a string. Example: I wanna extract the words "(M)" with the bracket from the string "Toothbrush (M)" in column A. After extracting the (M) out, I wanna do a validation to compare the (M) in column B with another data in column C, if the (M) is same as the data called "Medium" in column c, the validation will return "Match" in the column d!

Problem: String is broken into 2 parts within a delimeter.
Goal: To keep each String/Segment intact regardless of Alpha/Numeric.
I have a .csv file with 26 segments (commas). This file contains customer data: PO#, Order#, Carton ID, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, etc.
I've written code to capture all 26 segments as: Input #1, Seg1, Seg2, ... ,Seg26. The variables work fine until it encounter a string with Numeric first then Alpha within the same segment.
For this example we have a string such as (...,187 Main Street, PO Box 369,...)
Seg4 = Address
Seg5 = PO Box
The Segment Variables in Input #1, get shifted when it encounters the numeric portion of the address...so the result becomes:
Segment4 = 187
Segment5 = Main Street
Segment 6 = PO Box 369.
So on my next loop when ReadLine is executed...all the variables are shifted and I can't focus on the specific segment that I need to do something to it.
It delimits when it encounters Numeric then Alpha within the string, but accepts the entire string into the variable when its Alpha then Numeric within a delimeter.
How I can keep the entire string in tact within each delimeter?

I have another problem with this damn address file. Column H and I have data in them that is often mixed. As shown below, I have used A and B below, but its normaly in Column H and I. I would be greatul if some could write a macro to split the data into the two columns.
Rows 2-8 is what Im presented with. I would like them to look like 11-17
Note that the number in row 8 does not match, so is left for manual intervention....

I have a string of letters in cell column L20 through L3019.
The letters are A, B, C, and R . No other letters.
I wanted to find out if it is possible to remove any duplicates when starting in cell L20 going downward.
For example:
L20 = B
L21 = A
L22 = A
L23 = B
L24 = C
L25 = C
L26 = C
L27 = C
L28 = B
L29 = R
L30 = A
L31 = C
L32 = C
L33 = C
L34 = R
L35 = R
L36 = B
L37 = B
In the range L20 through L37 all the letters have appeared so my goal is to create a formula where the outcome is BACR. Starting with the first letter B in cell L20
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which would be either A,C, or R. Since we already used the letter B. In this case it's the letter A
ABCR
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which is the C or R. In this case it's the letter C
CBRA
Finally range L20 through L37. Looking for the letter R which is in cell L29.

I have created a macro that searches for an existing part in my worksheet and copies the found part to the row above. I would like to increment the value of cells B and H in the new copied row. Both cells contain an alphanumeric string that ends with a numeric value. For example cell B has a string like this "APL-DK0030" and cell H has a string like this "Dell Optiplex GX260 V09"....

I have an Excel file that quiries Google for driving distance (someone helped me with this.) It returns the correct miles but has some 'extra' characters. Example:
31.1&nb or 886&nbs
So the answer always has &nbs after the mileage. I tried the following function which works when there is a decimal but fails when there is not. =REPLACE(MID(E2,1,SEARCH("&",E2,1)-1),SEARCH(".",E2,1),1,","). Can this be done with a function or must it be VB script? Which is fine if it is.

How can you tell what a column number as referenced by the column alpha identifiers.
Ex: Column AN would equal what column no?

I have a column that's supposed to be an address, but somehow got the
company name mixed in at the beginning:
123 Main Street
One Park Place
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
I can use the formula
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-((MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")-1)))))
for stripping the text before an actual number
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
to
456 Easy Street
BUT - I'm not sure how to strip before a text representation of a
number (one, two, three, etc)
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
to
Four-Twenty Highway One

My spreadsheet contains a tasklist. It is generally sorted by priority (number); each row also contains a task ID ("T0100"). When I add a new task I need to know the last used task ID so I can assign the next one.
I've tried various built in functions but each expects numbers.
How can I insert in a cell (or display in a msgbox) the maximum text value?
For example, Given the data below I'd like to have show "T0888".
PRI TASKID
0 T0123
0 T0199
0 T0101
1 T0888
1 T0105

I have a requirement where I want my list should auto increment with number only.
For example: I want to fill below text in cell and when I drag the cell( Along the column A) and fill the rows downward it should automaticallly incremented.
Data in one cell say (A1) is like 001_TCO_CM, now I want to drag data present in cell A1 and wants data in cell A2, A3, A4 etc... it should get increment like
A2 = 002_TCO_CM
A3 = 003_TCO_CM
A4 = 004_TCO_CM
and so on...any method or way present in Excel 2003 so that my series should get auto filled.

Have a spreadsheet that contains a column of 3 digit numbers as well as 3 digit numbers with 2 trailing alpha characters.
Example:
376
377
421
376AB
376XY
377NC
421GQ
421EF
Need to sort by this column, but, with the parameter of sorting first by the numeric only, and then by numeric with alphas. So, the above list would look like this sorted properly:
376
376AB
376XY
377
377NC
421
421EF
421GQ

I am comparing to columns of data from MS Project using Excel. In one column are the resource names for the project tasks. In addition to the names are the designations for % utilized. So the column's data will look like this:
John Jones[15%],Mary Smith, Fred Arguello[240%].
I want to compare this column with another resource names column which will never have utilization values - only the names.
In order to do that I need to "mask" the non alpha characters out of the first string.

I have a spreadsheet with 2100 rows. I am trying to fill one column with a numbering system that fills the same number in for 21 cells and then increases by one. For example:
TRIAL WHOSICK?
110TRUE
15FALSE
113FALSE
117FALSE
17FALSE
12FALSE
16FALSE
14TRUE
18FALSE
[code].....
However, I did the first column manually and wish to fill in my "trial" column for all 100 trials.

when a user answers yes to a question a ref number is generated. Which works fine. The problem that im having is when a no is changed to yes the ref numbers get incremented but they all get misaligned.
Not sure if the tabel will come out right when i post it.
Where the no has changed to yes it has changed all the ref numbers below the no

I've created a spreadsheet that tracks problems using an assigned problem number. Attached is the spreadsheet.
I need assistance in inserting a new row and incrementing the sequential number after pressing the "Get/Assign New NCR Number" button. I am successful at getting a new row added, but am not able to increment the number. In addition, I would also like to have the table locked so that no deleting or amending the sequential number is allowed.

if I use the following formulae in A1 and fill it down, I get the serialization 1,2,3....etc. =(INT((ROW()-1)/1)+1)*1
But if I begin formulae at A11 and fill down, I get 11,12,13.....etc. Now I type 1 in A11, how do I modify the formula so that A12 will be 2, A13 will be 3, A14 will be 4 and so on ?

way to do this in plain excel (no macros, I have sufficient knowledge to do it in VBA but certain circumstances do not allow me to).
I want to insert a relative formula into a cell based on a condition.
For instance, I have a number N=10 (changeable).
And the following cells with corresponding formula:
A1=1
A2=A1+1
A3=A2+1
........
Is there a way to automatically insert that relative formula to the next cell until its value is larger than N?
I don't want to use IF and then copy to 65000 rows either, it will create blank cells that I don't want to be there (and it affects the printout as well as the scroll on the right).

I’m using this code to change the value of an active cell with a spinner named: 1.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lNum As Long
If IsNumeric(Target) Then
lNum = Target
If lNum = Target And Target >= 0 Then
With Me.Shapes("1").ControlFormat
.LinkedCell = vbNullString
.Value = Target
.LinkedCell = Target.Address
End With
Else
Me.Shapes("1").ControlFormat.LinkedCell = vbNullString
End If
End If
End Sub
The problem is, that whenever I click or activate a cell its value automatically changes to 0. The spinner works just fine modifying the value of the activated cell. The problem is that this code somehow causes all the decimals such as 0,3 0,1 or 0,8, entered manually, to change to 0. This way only integral numbers, such as 1, 45 or 100 are accepted. I must truly say I have no [no need to swear - mod] idea how to fix these problems meaning the automatically inserted 0 and the fact that the sheet doesn’t accept decimals changing them to an integral number.

I have created a templet for an invoice, but I cannot get the invoice number to increment. I am using the following code from a previous thread
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sales Invoice"). Range("B7").Value = Sheets("Sales Invoice").Range("B&").Value + 1
End Sub
The address of the invoice number is B7 and the name of the sheet where the B7 is located is Sales Invoice.
I want to start the invoice number at 100000 and add the letters PM to the beginning so that when it is displayed and printed out it reads PM100000.
Then I want it to increment by 1 and this number be placed in the B7 area when the invoice is opened next time.

I was recently issued an alphanumeric range that I would like excel to manage for me. The alphanumeric numbers contain 5 characters. The basic pattern starts zero to nine, then A-Z, then 10. For example, A0500 through A0509, A050A-A050Z, A0510-9, A051A-A051Z, A0520-A0529, etc.

Is it possible to increment / decrement cells using wild characters? I've found myself needing to increment values at different position, for e.g. :
ABC-###-FR05-AB
ABC-222-FR##-AB
C##445-KJ
where I would want to be incrementing # placeholders. It would help if I can give it a start number, and the increment amount (which can be different than 1).
What about possibly extending it a bit more to include two or more place holders at the same time as follows:
ABC##- FR*** (where # would have its own starting number and increment value, and * would have its own).

I am working on a sheet that has dynamic data saved. For any new value, a new row is inserted. I want to add a counter or more like an index so that I can see the number of the rows. I know that excel has is on the side but, I want to be able to make calculations. Like average of the numbers. Lets say I have 512 rows added. I want to be able (automatically via vba) to set the average with a sum of the values/ 512 which will be the number of the code I am asking. So I want a code that will start with the number 1 at (lets say) cell B2 and it will go like B3=2, B4=3.... any time a new row with data is added.
