please help if you can.

thanks

Tony

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.
Code:
Dim s$: s = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Times.xlsx"
If Dir(s) <> "" Then
    MsgBox "File already exists"
    Exit Sub
End If
