Can I set the numerical type of Cell to Hex format
 

Dear all,

Sorry to post again. Can I set the numerical type of the cell in Hex

format, because I want to do the following task. Thanks.

Now, if I type in 01/0001 in cell, and then I drag the mouse down to

many cells , the number in the cell will be added by 1 automatically, just

like the following

01/0001
01/0002
01/0003

Unfortunately there is nothing in Excel that supports doing numerical fills
in other than base 10. I can think of two options. One is to go to Tools,
Options, Custom Lists and import a list of hex numbers. The other is to
write a macro that fills hex numbers in a range you pre-select (like Ctrl-d
works rather than using the fill handle). Sorry but I do not have such a
macro.
