Hi all, I need to add a "serial number" number to a cell using VBA. I am able to start at 1 and add one to it for each record, but I need it to be in the format 001, and then next time I need to be able to add 1 to that number for 002.

Below is a snippet of my code, I really just need an easy method of making excel recognize the leading zeros in a 3 digit serial number.


Code:
With ws
.Cells(lRow, 1).Value = ????
end with

Thanks!

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
You could format the column that you are putting the "serial numbers in as Custom "000"
Code:
   Columns("A").NumberFormat = "000"
