    Autonumber

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a piece of code that can add an auto number to a cell when the rest of the row is populated.

    It doesn't need to have a pre-fix. I've tried this:

    And it works! But only for one row - it wont take the code down onto the next row.

    Can anyone give me any advice?

    Thanks

    Naomi

    A couple of thoughts.
    I'm not sure that you need a macro, since you want the number in column B whenever there is data "somewhere" in rows 4 and beyond. For instance, you could use a cell formula that checks for data in column A and uses the row number to calculate the serial number in column B:
    B4: =IF(A4<>"",ROW()-3,"") and copied down will put 1,2,... whenever you enter data in column A.
    If you want a prefix you could format column B using "001-"0000
