Increment Alphanumeric cell values based on a range of alphanumeric cell values

  • Hi,


    I am trying to add and increment numeric value if another cell value is a particular text. Example if the cell value is NEW I am trying to get NEW1, NEW2 etc in "New Title" column. I need to apply this on around 5000 records and doesn't want to apply a macro in my template. Any easy way to do this in Excel?



    [TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]

    [tr]


    [td]

    TItle

    [/td]


    [td]

    New Title

    [/td]


    [/tr]


    [tr]


    [td]

    MCP1

    [/td]


    [td]

    MCP1

    [/td]


    [/tr]


    [tr]


    [td]

    NEW

    [/td]


    [td]

    NEW1

    [/td]


    [/tr]


    [tr]


    [td]

    MCP2

    [/td]


    [td]

    [/td]

    Try this in B2, copied down:


    =IF(A2="NEW",A2&COUNTIF($A$2:A2,"NEW"),A2)
