excel formulas

lost in excel

how do i track 6000 raffle tickets in intervals of 10. There has to be a
formula rather than entering the numbers in manually!

Type this into cell A1:

0001 - 0010


and then in A2 put this formula:

=TEXT(LEFT(A1,4)+10,"0000")&" - "&TEXT(RIGHT(A1,4)+10,"0000")

Copy this formula down the column until you reach 6000 - it will give you
values like this:

0011 - 0020
0021 - 0030
0031 - 0040
0041 - 0050


Is this what you want?

Hope this helps.

Another one:

Put this in a cell:
=TEXT((ROW(A1)-1)*10+1,"0000")&" - "&TEXT(ROW(A1)*10,"0000")
And drag down 600 rows

Then select that range and convert it to values.
(edit|copy followed by edit|paste special|values)
