hello everyone hope all is well,

Background:
I need to create unique IDs for inspection locations based on known parameters
The amount created is different on every project but the naming convention is the same for all.

I want to be able to input the number of buildings and then automatically generate a complete list of everything needed to inspect. I assume its some sort of array formula. I guess I'll let you that know more tell me haha.


Naming Convention:
I only need to add info where the # is.

Stairs:
S - B# - S#
Stair - Building # - Stair #

Landings:
L - B# - F# - S#
Landing - Building # - Floor # - Stair #

Walkways:
W - B# - F# - W#
Walkway - Building # - Floor # - Walkway #


Yellow cells are the only cells where I'll be inputting information.
Green cells are where the output would go. (I could only copy a sample in the mini sheet but it would extend further down for as many as needed)

I'd like to input the number of buildings and the amount of stairs, landings, and walkways and all of the names be created automatically.


Hopefully this makes sense. If it doesn't I'll do my best to clarify.
