Default MAX function

In column A, cell format is "FR-"0.0, and the formula in A6 is

IF(A6="",MAX(A5,B5)+0.1,""),

I would like it to increment FR-1.1, FR-1.2, FR-1.3....FR-1.9, FR-1.10,
FR-1.11; however, it is currently incrementing FR-1.1, FR-1.2.....FR-1.9,
then FR-2.0

Is there anything I can do to the formula to count pass "10"?

Thanks.

Default MAX function

Does the number ever reach 2.0? What if you formatted the cell as "FR-1."0.
Then just use whole numbers in your formulas?

Default MAX function updated with more details

Adding more detail, column A is formatted "BR-"0 and formula in A6 is
MAX($A$4:$A5)+1,

Column B is cell formatted "FR-"0.0 and the formula in B6 is
IF(A6="",MAX(A5,B5)+0.1,"")

I would like it to increment FR-1.1, FR-1.2, FR-1.3....FR-1.9, FR-1.10,
FR-1.11; however, it is currently incrementing FR-1.1, FR-1.2.....FR-1.9,
then FR-2.0

Is there anything I can do to the formula to count pass "10"?

That's right now...thanks.
