Default Format a Concatenated cell


Where is the BLA coming from? Will that change? If not, you can use
custom cell formatting to create that reference.

Put the number 1 in the cell, then click CTRL-1 to open the Format Cell
box.

Select Number: Custom and in the TYPE: box put this:

BLA000

Those are three zeros at the end. The cell will now display as BLA001.
If you add 1 to it, it will become BLA002. In fact if that were cell A1,
in A2 you could put

=A1+1

....and it would still display as BLA002...as long as all those cells
are using that same custom format.
