Serial number generate
Hi
I am writing a formula to generate a serial number automatically. I use A1+1 in cell B1. A1=0, then each record will increase. But I cant do any sorting. On the other hand, I dont want to change the formula into a value then I can do sorting. Can anyone help please please?? (Dont be too technical, I am not very good with computer, thanks) Tony |

What do you mean by "But I can't do any sorting"?

Tony,
It sounds like you are generating sequential numbers. Have a look here for some alternative methods. Mike "Tony" wrote: Hi I am writing a formula to generate a serial number automatically.
