    Help automatically adjusting numbers in order.

    Attachment 403121

    I am very new to excel, and am trying to work on a simple project for my job that needs to be done soon. I've attached an image of what I'm working on, all manually formated and entered as I am a complete noob.

    Is there an easier way to change the numbers on the end rather than type all of these in? It's going to go up pretty high. Also, to make it more complicated, every 9 numbers on the end, the first number will change (EG: 301 to 302)

    Basically it will be something like this
    301-002
    301-003
    301-004
    301-005
    301-006
    301-007
    301-008
    301-009
    302-010
    302-011
    302-012
    302-013

    and so on....

    Can someone give this idiot some advice? Thanks!Capture.JPG

    Yes! Type "301-001" into A1. Then put this into A2 and drag it down.
