How can I generate the next number in a list of consecutive numbers ?

RE: Excel VBA

Hi Karen

A simple way to generate consecutive numbers is by using a Variable and some form of loop. For example:

Dim Counter as Integer

For Counter = 1 To 500

<Do your thing using the Counter in the code>

Next Counter

Alternatively you could use an accumulator on the Variable

Dim MyNumber as Integer

MyNumber = 1

MyNumber = MyNumber +1

This line of code would be placed in the sequence where the next consecutive number was required

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
