Formula to increment by volume and issue number, each in sets of three


I have journal articles which contain three issues per volume.

Is there a formula to increment 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and then jump to 2.1, 2.2, 2.3?


Solution

  • In Row3 please try:

    =INT(ROW()/3)&"."&MOD(ROW(),3)+1  
    

    and copy down to suit. For other rows you would need to add an offset (+n).
