Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
This should work

="H"&INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/6)+100+MOD((ROWS($1:1)-1),5)

UPDATE: But it doesn't :( Still working on this...

...so try this one instead

="H"&INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/5)*100+100+MOD((ROWS($1:1)-1),5)

Rich (BB code):
="H"&INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/6)*100+100+MOD((ROWS($1:1)-1),6)
:p

[wow!, this is great!]
[it works upto H905, after that i need it to replace 10 with O for October, then 11 with N for November and 12 with D for December]

[ see, the code H102 for instace, is a lot No, where H represents the year of manufacture, 1 represents Jan and 02 represents the second batch to be produced. The lot No cannot accomodate 6 digits(at least in this case) hence the need to replace 10,11 and 12 with one digit letters.]
[thanks for the good work so far]
