Assuming 2 header rows, in A3 put

="MWI"&TEXT(ROW()-2,"000")&"Z"

and fomula-drag that as far down as you need.

Adjust the Row()-2 if you don't start on Row 3

Folks I'm designing a spreadsheet to hold log-on numbers for temporary
workers. The format of the numbers is MWI***Z, where *** is a 3-digit
number. Is there any way I can use an increment function to
automatically
complete a long list of numbers eg MWI001Z, MWI002Z, without having to
type
them all in. I've tried using the fill handle, but it doesn't work on
this -
presumably because its a mix of letters and numbers.
Thanks for any help.
Janet
