Sequential Alphabet Characters

[ballz]

I have <C10 in cell C10.

When I drag the lower right hand corner into D10, It shows C11. I would like it to show D10

Is there a way to do this? THANKS

Hi ballz, (that sounded wrong)

Do the same thing, but this time when you're dragging it downwards, before you let go of the left mouse button, press and hold the CTRL key, then let go the left mouse button.

I'm dragging it to the right.

Holding control just keeps it at C10, so it didn't work for me.

It's not a formula, so it will not adjust like that.

No way I can hack something up?
like put C in a cell, 10 in a cell, have count 1-10 + to C etc etc.

use some concatenation functions or other excel functions?

Solved it. Had to Hack something up. For those who care::

A1:C B1: =CHAR(CODE(A1)+1) [changes C to ASCII , +1, then converts it back]

So if you drag out B1, you get D E F G H

then if you want to put the number "10" at the end of it (i.e. D10, E10), you can use = CONCATENATE(B1,10)

Using this method, I was able to formula sequential letters for inputs (as strings) into my other formulas.
