what is the formula to populate a column with alphanumeric string?
the string is to be used as product code..
say, starting at LFK101 - LFK102 - LFK103 (increment) so on down..
the string can be any number of letters and numbers..
like A1, ABC123, XYZ110.... the letter is always at the left and the numbers are at the right side of the string..
maximum letter = 10; maximum number to reach = 10,000
many many thanks

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Hi,

You don't need a formula.

Enter the First Product Code in cell, Select that cell, left click on the cell Handle (little "square" at lower right corner of cell) and drag down as far as you need:
