Excell function

Hi to all,
Can you please tell me how i can do a number counter in excell. i have 1 book= 3 sheets and i want 1 counter between the 3 sheets. i produce certificates with serial numbers and have three different types to produce but the serial numbers must follow on. Is it possible please!! i am not so good with macros

 

It's very possible.

How many records do you have?
Can you post your excel sheet with dummy data? - It'll help a lot.

 

Heres the dummy data.hopes this works

 

Here is a quick answer. Others will improve it, Enjoy

 

Well it does what it says on the tin. Good work edhicks.

Brianw, is this what you want? If you want more, then post what you expect the resulting data to be.

Questions
1. How many records are you likely to be dealing with?
2. Why do you use 3 separate sheets, when all your fields are the same? If you want something that separates them, use another field, which represents the difference between them, like a groupID.
3. Expected output. Serial Numbers? On one sheet? For each record on each sheet? Both?

 

Answer to question 1. Possible up to 2000

Answer to question 2. I like them on 3 seperate sheets, because it keeps the categories apart.

Answer to question 3. I would like one continuous serial number to cover all three sheets, if this is not possible then I will consider putting all the data on one sheet.

Thanx so far, appriciated
