Im am currently creating a database of my audio cds..

Rather than going alphabetically i am using stickers - each page of stickers
consist of 48 stickers a4 size - (16 x 3 rows)
and i have started to print some up ie Cd 00001 to Cd 00048 on one sheet etc
and so on..then in excel the cd will tie up with the sticker etc

Now Instead of manually changing each number for the next sheet ie Cd 00001
becomes Cd 000049 and so on, i was wondering is there a easy way of just
adding a addition 48 to each number so 01 becomes 49, 02 becomes 50 and so
on..


Thanks

you will ave to give way more information

If you set up you sheet just with numbers you could paste special and
add 48 to each number.

Or create a seperate sheet or area, put just the numbers in as numbers
accepting the leading 00 will me missing

then in the first cell of your labels put ="cd"&TEXT(J40,"00000") where
j40 is the cell contain 1 or 49 etc

Alternatively it is easier in word, make a list of all the numbers you
want and create a labels mail merge just putting cd and the number on
the labels, if the number is formated 00000

Slight variation:

If you make the top-left cell in the block the source for the rest, and
input it manually as a number, eg 49, then set up a formula so that
every other cell adds 1 to the previous cell, eg B1 = A1+1

Then format the cells as "Cd "000000 (custom format), and each sheet
can then be created by inputting one number.

Select A1:R3 (16 columns by 3 rows)
With A1 the activecell, type this formula:
="Cd "&TEXT(48*$A$10+(ROW()-1)*16+COLUMN(),"00000")
and hit ctrl-enter to fill all the cells in the selection.

Now put 0 in A10, then put 1 in A10, then 2, ....
