Question is there a formula for the below example?

From this:
QueueNameOrder No.
JackN01
JennyN02
JennyN03
KimmyN04

To this:

QueueNameOrder No.
N01Q01JackN01
N02Q02JennyN02
N03Q03JennyN03
N01Q02KimmyN04

1. So A2 gets the value of C2 and add letter "Q" and start a queue of "01".
2. Then subsequently A3 does the same thing, except it checks the above cell "A2" for its last two value which is the bold N01Q01.
3. the subsequent row will be on loop using the step number 2.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Thank You!! appreciate the help!
:confused: How does that produce the results you showed in post #1?
From what I can see, none of the results match yours.

(Also note that if any rows are subsequently added at the top of the sheet, the results will be even more different to yours)

What about
Excel Formula:
A2=C2&"Q"&MID(C2,2,255)

@studentlearner
I noticed that you marked my post (#4) as the solution to this thread. My post does not contain or suggest a solution so I have un-marked it as the solution.
My post was simply pointing out that the earlier suggestion does not produce the results you said you wanted.

BTW, post #5 also does not produce the results you showed in post #1 as what you wanted.

Excel Formula:
A2=C2&"Q"&MID(C2,2,255)
A3==C3&"Q"&IF(VALUE(RIGHT(A2,2)+1)<=9,"0","")&VALUE(RIGHT(A2,2)+1)

Perhaps the OP has given incorrect expected results(?), but for the 4th row of sample data that gives
N04Q04
The expected results for that row show
N01Q02

That is all I have been trying to point out and hoping that the OP would clarify the expected results or provide some logic for how to arrive at the posted values.

That's typo according to point s 1 & 2 from initial post #1.
In row 4 should be N04Q04.

Excel Formula:
=C2&"Q"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"#00")
