Hello All ......

I need to create a "reference" or "sequence" number like seen in the number column below. This number would only be created when "Weekend Pass" is in the type column and would need to loop through all rows in the worksheet. The quantity and type columns are the only columns with existing data. Any ideas?


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

[TD="align: center"]Number[/TD]

Thanks Mick .... awesome, works great, fast response, terrific. But I forgot to mention something :rolleyes:. Is it possible to use an OR with InStr? I forgot "Exempt" as a type.

Try this:-
Code:
[COLOR=Navy]Sub[/COLOR] MG23Jul56
[COLOR=Navy]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] Range, n [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Long,[/COLOR] c [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Long,[/COLOR] nstr [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]String[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("C2", Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
[COLOR=Navy]For[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR=Navy]In[/COLOR] Rng
    [COLOR=Navy]If[/COLOR] InStr(Dn.Value, "Weekend Pass") > 0 [COLOR=Navy]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=Navy]For[/COLOR] n = 1 To Dn.Offset(, -1)
            c = c + 1
            nstr = nstr & IIf(nstr = "", Format(c, "000"), ", " & Format(c, "000"))
        [COLOR=Navy]Next[/COLOR] n
    [COLOR=Navy]With[/COLOR] Dn.Offset(, -2)
        .NumberFormat = "000"
        .Value = nstr: nstr = ""
    [COLOR=Navy]End[/COLOR] With
[COLOR=Navy]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR=Navy]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR=Navy]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Sub[/COLOR]
