    Post Is there a way to dynamically continue numbering between tables?

    Hello
    I am trying to have a consistent numbering between tables since I am trying to have a consistent numbering of a general Operation ID that is present on all the tables (that number is like a transaction ID but its present on different tables because there are different types of transactions but it is important to know the overall ID of that transaction, regardless the number sequence in the given table)
    I already research different forms of numbering like this one

    trumpexcel.com/number-rows-in-excel/

    But all of them are using only one table, not a sequential dynamic one like what I am trying to do.
    So. What I am trying to do is going from this (where there is numbering sequence for a unique table)

    i.redd.it/3n8ygarbhcb31.jpg

    To this (where there is numbering sequence between tables; I added color references to represent the "jumps" of numbering between columns)

    i.redd.it/9tq45h4hhcb31.jpg

    I am trying to automate this process instead doing it manually. So ideally it would like store the current Operation ID (maybe a VBS variable or simply a formula) and whenever I enter a new data on a given table it would continue the previous Operation ID
    Any suggestions or ideas are welcome
    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Is there a way to dynamically continue numbering between tables?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Will you please attach a small sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
