Incrementing numbers

[Floyd107]

Hi group,

I need to enter a number in a cell and have other cells in the worksheet
update automatically from the base number.

Initial number -
BR06/0358

Output required each in different cells-
BR06/0358/1
BR06/0358/2
BR06/0358/3 etc. etc. up to maximum /12

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it makes it any easier the initial
number could be input as BR06/0358/0 although I'd prefer not to.

I'm using excel 2000

Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,

=IF(LEN(A1)=9,A1&"/1",LEFT(A1,10)&RIGHT(A1,1)+1)

Copy down

Many thanks Niek, it works a treat!!!
When I get a chance I'll sit down and work out how it functions. For the
time being I'll just put it to good use.

Thanks again,
Martin
