    Alphabetic autofill

    I want Excel to autofill our inventory system. It is alphabetic though.
    AAA, AAB,...-ZZZ. I understand that you have to build a macro to do it. Any
    suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hi,
    you can do it with a formula,

    put alphabetic autofill in the search.

    I think it's the first one on there.

    p.s I notice they are all your queries,

    I'd suggest rather than keep reposting the same question you query the replies given if you do not understand them.

    HTH.

    Hi dogisnuts

    You can use the following formula, previously posted by Max

    =UPPER(IF(ROW(A1)>18278,CHAR(96+INT(MOD(ROW(A1)-18279,456976)/17576)+1),"")&
    IF(ROW(A1)>702,CHAR(96+INT(MOD(ROW(A1)-703,17576)/676)+1),"")&IF(ROW(A1)>26,
    CHAR(96+INT(MOD(ROW(A1)-27,676)/26)+1),"")&CHAR(97+MOD(ROW(A1)-1,26)))
