How do I add 4 to xxx-xxxx_001 to get xxx-xxxx_004 ?

[Dbase Beginner]

Hi,

I need to create a document range with begin and end number.
In one column I have the begin number of the document and in a second
one the number of pages.
How do I tell Excel to add the pages to the begin number ?

005-LA001_001 + 4 = 005-LA001_004
001-CTM_001 + 13 = 001-CTM_013
018-LA107-001_001 + 230 = 018-LA107-001_230

I have started a manual job on this, but got deparated after a while.

Thanks in advance !

=LEFT(A1,FIND("_",A1))& TEXT(RIGHT(A1,3)+B1-1,"000")

However, if the starting number is always 001, then the above simplifies to:

=LEFT(A1,FIND("_",A1))& TEXT(B1,"000")
