i am trying to insert a reference number into a cell in excel using vba. I want a prefix text of 'V0000' followed by an auto incremented number starting from 836.

A large portion of my code creates a new row and inserts data into it automatically one after the other, but instead of posting my whole code I am just wanting to focus on this one line of code which inserts value into column AA of my spreadsheet. I am using the following but it just gives me V00001 each time. can someone show me how I can get my code to do what I want it to.

I am looking for a way to reference cells inside named range and have it be understandable for person looking through the spreadsheet.

I have this spreadsheet:

If this is absolutely not possible, I would be happy to at least be able to refer to cells by name of the row and letter of the column. So that I can do:

With the ranges named as you say write in G2 the next draggable formula:

And of course you would be able to write something like

but that formula wouldn't be draggable.

(Note $A$1:$F$4 is your dataset reference)

Hope it works!

Here is a VBA solution. Using macros for something that can be done with worksheet formulas isn't the best practice, However, it gives you the functionality you want. Create a module in your workbook and add this code to the module. Don't forget to save your file as .xlsm

My recommendation is to use a named range for your data array, such that this line:

Becomes:

And can be edited from the workbook.
