Incremental numbering
 

I have a created an Excel spreadsheet for printing labels.
I need to be able to incrementally increase each label count by one, which I
can do with no problem. I can not figure out how to increase by one if there
is a word in front of it.
Example the first label would be: WORD 1001
The second label would be: WORD 1002

The WORD would stay constant, but the numbers would change. I would also
like display a dialog box to ask the user what the starting number would be
and then automatically prefill the sheet.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeff

not sure this is the best way but here is how i would do it:

A1 type 1001
A2 type ="Word "&A1
A3 type ="Word "&TRIM(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-4))+1
copy and paste the formula down
hope it works for what you need.
