Hello everyone, I have question about title above. I try to make a serial number that contain today's date format like this 221222 and serial number start from 01 after the date, and it will change's after the next day. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I've try this code in my file :

num = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheet1.Range("C:C"))

If num > 1 Then
Sheet1.Range("A" & num + 2).Value = Date & num - 1
End If

And the result is like this image bellow

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Maybe something like this?
VBA Code:
Sub addSerial()
  Dim lRow As Long
  lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
 
  If Left(Cells(lRow, 1).Value, 6) = Format(Now(), "ddmmyy") Then
    Cells(lRow + 1, 1).Value = Format(Now(), "ddmmyy") & Format(Mid(Cells(lRow, 1).Value, 7, Len(Cells(lRow, 1).Value)) + 1, "00")
  Else
    Cells(lRow + 1, 1).Value = Format(Now(), "ddmmyy") & Format(1, "00")
  End If
End Sub

            Dim k As Integer
            store = Evaluate("text(day(today()),""00"")&text(month(today()),""00"")&text(today(),""yy"")")

                For k = 1 To 10
                        Cells(k, 1) = store & WorksheetFunction.Text(k, "00")
                Next k

End Sub
