Hello,
I have an alpha numeric cell in excel sheet. for example IND/APR/6734/INV
I am using it to give number to the invoce that I generate everyday. once I finish the printing and saving the invoice , new invoice will come. I am manually incrementing the number in the third portion of the field. for example next number 6735 etc..Is there any method to auto increment it so that I can get IND/APR/6735/INV ... when I use the invoice template the next time. please help me . thanks suryam
suppose you want to enter the correct invoice number in sheet 2
make sheet2 as active sheet suppose the value of the invoice in all the sheets in G1
then try this macro
KEEP THE MSGBOX SO THAT YOU WILL BE SURE THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH CORRECT SHEETS.
Sub test()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, r As Range, j As Integer
Set ws2 = ActiveSheet
j = ws2.Index
MsgBox j
Set ws1 = Worksheets("sheet" & j - 1)
MsgBox ws1.Name
ws2.Range("G1") = Left(ws1.Range("G1"), 8) & Mid(ws1.Range("G1"), 9, 4) + 1 & Right(ws1.Range("G1"), 4)
End Sub
How can I use it in a macro?
I have a macro ("copy range of cells" ) on my invoice sheet to save the cell range B6:G57 into another sheet. after that some specified cell contents will be cleared...I mean they will be empty to create next invoice. Now by the time I get new invoice, I must be able to see that the invoice number is also incremented by 1.
my invoice template is in the range of B6:G57 and my invoice number is in the cell G19.
thanks suryam
