I am Facing issue in auto generation of serial number by adding the last cell value in Column A. I was able to generate Serial number until BA00935(by adding the last cell values BA00934) but not understanding why the Code is not generating Serial number BA00936 as in this figure. I am not even getting any error message.
How can i use row_number in proper manner or is there any alternative to achieve the expected results?
I have used the following VBA Code to generate Serial number by adding to the lastrow.
Private Sub cmdadd_Click()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim LastRow As Long
'for giving the serial number based on last cell value by adding plus one
With ActiveSheet
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("A" & LastRow).Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A" & LastRow & ":A" & LastRow + 1), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("A" & LastRow + 1).Select
End With
Assuming the strings are always 7 characters long and end in 5 digit numbers
Private Sub cmdadd_Click()
On Error Resume Next 'This line skips errors... bad practice unless you really know what you are doing
On Error GoTo 0
Dim LastRow As Long
With Workbooks(REF).Sheets(REF) 'Always refer to the wb/ws, otherwise VBA will refer to the active wb/ws
.Unprotect
'for giving the serial number based on last cell value by adding plus one
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
prfx = Left(.Cells(LastRow, "A"),2) 'Gets the prefix by getting the 2 leftmost characters of the last filled cell
nmbr = Right(.Cells(LastRow, "A"),5)+1 'Gets the last 5 characters, which is the number
'Numbers don't have leading zeroes, so if the string did they have been stripped
'This determines if that happened and if so, it adds as many leading zeroes as the number of characters is shorter than 5
If Len(nmbr) < 5 Then
For i = 1 To (5 - Len(nmbr))
nmbr = "0" & nmbr
Next i
End If
.Cells(LastRow + 1, "A").Value = prfx & nmbr
End With
End Sub
