Making long alphanumeric list
Just enter Lan01 in the first cell,, then move the cursor to the
bottom-right corner of the cell until it changes to a black cross, then drag and copy as far as you want. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "Medtner" wrote in message ...

Making long alphanumeric list
Hi
Just type your first value into a cell, then grab the fill handle and pull down the column and it will change the numeric part automatically. The fill handle is the small black cross you see if you hover the cursor over the bottom right corner of the cell. Hold your left mouse button down to garb it, pull the mouse down the page as as far as required then release. If you are going to go into the hundreds, then you might consider starting with Lan001 rather than Lan01. Regards Roger Govier Medtner wrote: Sorry guys this is a newbie question I know...
