It does not work because Excel is not smart enough to recognize your data as
a series, But we are smart enough to make a series. Enter this in a cell and copy down: ="pimage_" & ROWS($A$1:A379) & ".jpg" -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007 "Just Me" wrote: when I type in one cell 1 and the the cell below it 2 then highlight both and drag the corner the next cell will be then 4 then 5 and so on BUT when I have cells that have this pimage_379.jpg pimage_380.jpg and I do the same thing, highlight both and drag the corners the next cells keep going like this why? pimage_379.jpg pimage_380.jpg pimage_379.jpg pimage_380.jpg I want it to be like this pimage_379.jpg pimage_380.jpg pimage_381.jpg pimage_382.jpg I appreciate any help |

Your alteration was very close. We need to fix the A379 in the formula as
well as add the trailing material: ="pimage_" & ROWS($A$1:A374) & "_000000001.jpg" The ROWS function gives us a way to make a column of values. We can make the column anywhere on the worksheet and have it start with any value. Let's say we want a column of data starting in cell B9 and we want the values to begin with 15. In B9 enter: =ROWS($A$1:A15) and copy down. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007 "Just Me" wrote: Thanks that worked great for me !!!
