How do I add sequential numbers to existing data in excel?
I need to sequentially number existing data.
For example, the existing data is: (A1) 2x4-c_ (A2) 2x4-b_ (A3) 3x5-c_ (A4) 3x5-b_ The desired end result is: (A1) 2x4-c_00001 (A2) 2x4-b_00002 (A3) 3x5-c_00003 (A4) 3x5-b_00004 I need a formula/macro to append the sequential numbers to lists of data that are 200-1000 rows long. Any ideas? |

Any ideas? I'm assuming that (A1) is a cell reference. If not, you can alter my recommendation accordingly. B1: =A1&TEXT(ROWS($1:1),"00000") Fill down 200-1000 rows as appropriate. Then Select B1:Bn Edit/Copy Edit/Paste Special/Values You can now delete column A. --ron |
