Hello,

I would appreciate your help with the formula or VBA code for the following function.

In the 'Used/unused item number' column I need to apply a sequence of numbers.

If the item in the 'Used/Unused' column is 'Used' the formula should by order of 'Date' apply the sequence from the location 'Data entry'!I1:I300. This looks for example as follows:


E1
E2
E3
E4
E5

If the item in the 'Used/Unused' column is 'Unused' the formula should by order of 'Date' apply the sequence from the location 'Data entry'!H1:H300. This looks for example as follows:



UM1
UM2
UM3
UM4
UM5

Finally, in the 'Sensitive item number' column I need to apply a sequence of numbers.
If the item in the 'Sensitive' column is 'Yes' the formula should by order of 'Date' apply the sequence from the location 'Data entry'!J1:J300. This looks for example as follows:


S1
S2
S3
S4
S5

Many thanks in advance for your help! Much appreciated :)
