my problem is what will be the formula(maybe a count formula, at cell C2 of the input sheet) that counts the code like in the masterlist, if i input another entry for HR Department it will be HR-003 and of I input an entry for Finance it will be FN-001. I want to be auto generated of number, if i input a department then it will generate the next number that based on the number that shown in the masterlist.

Please Help me!!!
Thank you in advance....
