Calculate (Auto Fill) cells with numbers and text.
I can drag the cell and the number adds 1 each time. That is good but I am
trying to only fill in cell A1 with something like 2XL001 and I want the other cells A2, A3, A4 etc to auto fill with 2XL002, 2XL003, 2XL004 etc. The reason behind this, is that more than one person will be using the spreadsheet (thru out the day) to enter the (thier) serial numbers. If I can have the users to only put in the first number and the rest auto fill in; there will be less mistake in entering and printing the serial numbers. Do you know of a way to do this??
