    Generating Report Numbers

    Hi all,

    I am wondering if there is a way to generate specific Report Numbers that must contain a constant.

    I have two different sets of numbers that I would need to generate, below is an example of the numbers but I'm wondering if Excel could do this automatically?

    The first is:

    G_YY_001
    G_YY_002
    G_YY_003

    The second is:

    D_YY_001
    D_YY_002
    D_YY_003



    If it is possible to take it further, instead of "YY" in each number, could Excel automatically have the year, as in for this year "YY" = "13"



    Thanks,

    Alex

    You can just put this in a cell and drag down:

    ="G_13_"&TEXT(ROW(A1),"000")
