Hi, I have a spreadsheet with about 10 columns and 50
rows. I upload the spreadsheet to test an application
and need to modify the spreadsheet each time to make it
different.

What I would like is to be able to add a unique number or
a letter at the end of the data currently in Column C.
So if Column C now is (Adam, Steve, Roger) I would like
to make it AdamA, SteveB, RogerC.

Is there a way to macro this somehow? what is the
formula? I could not get auto fill to work.

thanks in advance if you can help.

Kevin,

Something like this

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myId As Long
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:H10")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
On Error Resume Next
myId = Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("___UniqueId").RefersT o)
myId = myId + 1
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="___UniqueId", RefersTo:="=" &
myId
.Value = .Value & "_" & myId
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Option Explicit
Sub append_id()
Dim iNumRows As Integer, iCount As Integer, c As Variant
iNumRows = Sheets("sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
iCount = 0
For Each c In Range("C1", "C" & iNumRows)
c.Value = c.Value & iCount
iCount = iCount + 1
Next
End Sub
