How to make control number in cell
this will get you part way there.........
="SH-"&TEXT(MONTH(TODAY()),"00")&"-001" Changing the 001 each month will have to be based on a frozen "standard" somewhere, and this month will change if the file is created and saved and opened sometime in the future........methinks what you are really wanting is a custom "datestamp", which would be better served with VBA.
