Auto fill row base on info from other row
You have length like 40.375, in your sample tag against it is B1-01. Why? Or it shall be B1-40.375 ?
SergeiBaklanso these are tags that get imported into autocad. Each different length gets a new tag
with B1 being a constant. i need excel just to number in numerical order (B1-01, B1-02, B1-03.ETC...)
ive attached a completed sheet to help see it more. I would like to label the first length B1-01 and then autofill down changing the last two number each time a new length comes. the last two number do not have to say the length

1) I added it to column H to comapre with your sample2) My assumption is that lengths go sequentially, e.g. l1,l1,l2,l2,l2,l3,l3 etc, not as l1,l2,l1,l3,l1,l2, etc
3) I'd suggest to add first tag manually (B1-01 in H2). That gives more flexibility, at any time we may change B1 on something else. However, if not suitable we may complicate the formula a bit and make H2 also calculatable with B1 hardcoded
Formula in B3 could be
= LEFT(H2,3) & TEXT(RIGHT(H2,2)+(COUNTIF($D$2:$D3,$D3)=1),"00")and drag it down.
4) In couple of place formula result is differ form the sample, I marked one them in blue. Here length is changed, I guess we have to change number in tag as well.
SergeiBaklanI GOT IT WORKING THANKS SO MUCH!!!
