How to make a report number with spaces ascend in proper order

    I have made a worksheet with report numbers starting with '03 19001', I need it to change to '03 19002' but every time I try to drag the number down it changes the 03 to an 04 and doesn't change the last number? How do I fix this please?

    Hello,


    If we assume the starting cell is cell A2 with 03 19001 ...


    you could test in cell A3 the following formula :


    Code
    =LEFT(A2,2)&" "&VALUE(MID(A2,4,5))+1


    and then ... copy the formula down ...


    Hope this will help
