Thumbs up Answer: Need formula to increase Alpha character to next letter

Sure, I can help you with that! You can use the
Code:
CHAR
and
Code:
CODE
functions in Excel to increase the alpha character to the next letter. Here's how:
  1. In the cell where you want to display the next letter, enter the following formula:
    Code:
    =CHAR(CODE(A2)+1)
  2. In this formula,
    Code:
    A2
    is the cell that contains the current letter. The
    Code:
    CODE
    function returns the ASCII code for the letter in cell A2, and the
    Code:
    +1
    increases the code by one.
  3. The
    Code:
    CHAR
    function then converts the new ASCII code back into a letter.
  4. Copy the formula down the column to apply it to all the cells.

That's it! Now, each cell in the column will display the next letter in the alphabet. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
