Hello! I have searched all over for a resolution to provide auto alpha-numeric numbering in Excel.

Basically, the person(s) would like to have certain action items auto numbered, such as 1 for main Action, and A, B,C etc for the sub-actions.

Is there a way that this can be done and automated to the point that even when a new line is inserted the alpha-numeric numbering will auto adjust and populate?:confused:

I'm very new to VBA language and really would love to know if this is possible and how it can be done.

Thanks!

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sort by date Sort by votes
I'm not sure if I follow. Can you please provide a couple examples of your input and your desired output?

Sorry about that-

Column A would contain the alpha-numeric numbering.

#1-Basically, I'm thinking if it would read that the above cell contains a 1 or 1.1, 2, 2.2 etc- then the following alpha listing would be A, B, C etc.

#2-Maybe even using sequential numbering to read- above row is "1" so then input 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc until another row contains "2", then following input would be 2.1.1, 2.1.2 etc.
