Hello,
I am producing a list of patterns references and each pattern needs to have a unique reference.
Example pattern 1 is 100-1525/1525/8-001 and is made from a sheet of material 1525 x 1525 x 8 thick
100 = Denotes type of material
1525 = dimension 1
1525 = dimension 2
8 = thickness
001 = the specific pattern I can create from the above sized material.
The type of material and dimensions have individual columns and so I can concatenante them into the first part of my code; 100-1525/1525/8
My problem is that I have a lot of codes to produce and the sheet size 1525 x 1525 x 8 could produce 50 - 60 different patterns, but currently sits at producing around 12. I would like a way to automate the last part of the code so that excel can look at the list and know that the next pattern reference is, for example 100-1525/1525/8-002 without me having to double check that, 'oh yes, 002 is the next one in the sequence'.
This is compounded by the fact the the material size can change. For example it may become 2440 x 1220 x 15. So I would want this to begin at 001 and work the same way.
I hope this makes sense.
