hi All,

wondering if someone could help me out in figuring out the last part (I hope) to a formula.

I have the below formula which returns the correct information however I would like it to add a figure to the end of the text.

this formula =IF(W2="(Subcontractor)",K2& " (Subcontractor)") returns as Mr Higgins (subcontractor) whoever I need it to put a number at the end of the column (1-100) but I also need it to see additional (subcontractor) cells and therefore make to number add 1 each time.

if column "W" has 15 cells with (subcontractor) in them it needs to count on 1 each time.

hope that makes sense..

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
This is not an easy formula. Do you need the cells that don't match to be blank?
This will work, but the non-matching cells need to carry the count forward so the matching cells can calculate the correct number of subcontractors.
Code:
=IF(W4="(Subcontractor)",K4&" (Subcontractor) "&IFERROR(VALUE(RIGHT(A3,1))+1,1),VALUE(RIGHT(A3,1)))

I hope this helps and I understood you question correctly.
