Numbering using letters
Is there a way to automatic number in Excel using letters instead of numbers?
I tried doing A, B, C in the first three boxes and then using the "+" to make it continue, but it repeats A, B, C...A, B, C instead. Any ideas? thanks! |

Numbering using letters
There are probably several ways to do this. Here is a formula you can use.
=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,ROW(1:1),4),1) Drag down as needed. If you will be using more than 26 characters, then: =IF(LEN(ADDRESS(1,ROW(1:1),4))=3,LEFT(ADDRESS(1,RO W(1:1),4),2),LEFT(ADDRESS(1,ROW(1:1),4),1)) HTH, Paul -- "rayybay" wrote in message ...
