    Alpha Numeric Codes

    Hi All,

    New to here, and i am in a bit of a pickle! I used to know the code for this, but can anyone paste up or point me toward the thread which gives you the formula for creating about 300 unique alphanumeric codes!! I know you have to type in 0123456789 Then ABC... etc in cell A1, then when i looked on here before someone had put up this formula that i pasted straight into A2!! Worked a charm but for the life of me i can't find that thread anymore!!

    Anyone help??

    Desperate from SE London!

    I have a solution now, just copy this into A1 and drag down to 300, glad i already done the one for 50,000!!

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(DEC2OCT(RAND()*10000000,8),"5","A"),"6","B"),"7","C"),"0","D")
