    Question Create Unique Sequence Number in Cell for invoice

    Hello. I am new in excel and to this forum.
    I have this situation:

    I have an invoice template and in one cell I must fill in a unique number and always must increase by 1 . For example if previous number was 300 next number must be 301 etc....
    For me this cell is K5.
    In more details I want to open the template and automatically K5 cell gets this number from the previous invoice.Also I need to save each invoice automatically and get the name of the file from two different cells with an underscore ( _ ) between in a folder which I will specify. And for the end when I save the file I want to clear a range of cells from the invoice and get ready for the next one.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Thank you
    John

    Keep in mind that I have post this thread to other forums as well and if it is answer I will close the thread.The reason for this was that I am in dead end.

    The only thing now is that you see some fields with garbbish characters.This is why I use my Mac and VBA does support Greek characters....I can work it in Windows only....
    Is there a solution to this?
