I need a cell to change numbers each time it is opened up.
I need the formula or path to i guess to make a template and each time it is
open it generates a new number, Like a invoice number. For example. in cell A1 Invoice # in cell B1 we would have the number 1. then save it and then when you open the template again the #2 would be in cell B1 automatically? can anyone help? |

Only vba code can do this. Something like this will work
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Const sAPPLICATION As String = "Excel" Const sSECTION As String = "Invoice" Const sKEY As String = "Invoice_key" Const nDEFAULT As Long = 1& Dim nNumber As Long With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet With .Range("B1") If IsEmpty(.Value) Then nNumber = GetSetting(sAPPLICATION, sSECTION, sKEY, nDEFAULT) .NumberFormat = "@" .Value = Format(nNumber, "1") SaveSetting sAPPLICATION, sSECTION, sKEY, nNumber + 1& End If End With End With End Sub "Bcoleman75" wrote: I need the formula or path to i guess to make a template and each time it is open it generates a new number, Like a invoice number.

Is your template a true Template(*.XLT)
If not, open a new file and build your invoice layout on a sheet. Enter this code in Thisworkbook module........to acces that module right-click on the Excel Icon left of "File" and select "View Code" Private Sub Workbook_Open() if thisworkbook.path = "" then 'because the workbook is opened based upon a Template 'it's never been saved, so increment the number. Sheet1.Range("B1").Value = Sheet1.Range("B1").Value + 1 end if End Sub Copy/paste the code into that module. Alt + q to return to the Excel window.

I could send you a workbook that is working. Or yes you can just copy and
paste the code into the ThisWorkBook Module.

Gord,
Would that code work in a template (.xlt) file as well? I've tried various methods in the past and had all but given up. -- Riker1074 "Gord Dibben" wrote: Is your template a true Template(*.XLT) If not, open a new file and build your invoice layout on a sheet.

Actually the code I provided won't work properly in the Template.
I sort of misread your post<g The code just prevents the number from updating in the workbook created from the template when next opened. You need something like code from John McGimpsey's site to first increment the number from the template. http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/udfs/sequentialnums.html Gord On Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:53:01 -0800, Riker1074 wrote: Gord, Would that code work in a template (.xlt) file as well?
