    Consecutively numbered cells based on a title column and number of cells with that title

    So that title is confusing..

    I have one column with titles and a second with the number of unique id's with that title.

    So if the title cell reads "Customer" and the number cell reads "300", I want to create a new column with 300 cells containing "Customer 1"... all the way to "Customer 300"

    The problem is I have 1000 entries in my title and number columns and I want to convert these into one column with 25000 uniquely id'd cells.

    I imagine someone could write a macro to do this but that is something I do not know how to do. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Post a sample workbook with just a few rows of data and I'll show you how you could do it with a few formulae.

    In your example file, I've put 0 in C3 (important) and this formula in C4:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    which is then copied down beyond your data.

    Then I have this formula in D4:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    which is then copied down until you get blanks.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
