Hi,

In any cell as the starting point, enter the following formula, and drag to
fill down the column.

=IF(ROW(A1)999,"AA-",IF(ROW(A1)99,"AA-0",IF(ROW(A1)9,"AA-00","AA-000")))&ROW(A1)

Hope ithis helps,

Regards,

Do you mean you want to generate sequential SKUs? If so, enter one of them
into a cell, then drag that cell down by the fill handle. Done. HTH Otto

Hi Max,

Very nice formula!

A variation:
="AA-" & TEXT(ROW(A1),"0000")

Hi,

Just type AA-0001 in one cell and then drag down the fill handle (corner
right). Hope this helps.
