Incrementing non-numeric cells?

[Tomfh]

Hi,

Say you have the text "T1" in a cell, how can you fill-down so that the cells below it auto increment to T2, T3, T4, etc

Thank you.

You could format the cells "T"0 using the custom option, and then just fill 1 to whatever.

Hello,

What wrong with selecting the cell, place the cursor over the bottom right hand corner and drag down as far as necessary. This will increment them.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!

And if you like a menu option instead: select the range you want to fill, with the cell containing T1 as the first cell, then choose Edit/Fill/Series from the menu. Set Type to Autofill.

Cheers,
Joerd
