One way to do it by formulas would be StartSerial - Formula - "=1" Cell Format - Custom "00000" EndSerial - Formula - "=Qty" Cell Format - Custom "00000" Date - Cell Format - Custom "yymmdd"
Having done this, you can programmatically read the cell contents as displayed using the Text() method of range class. By the way, any particular reason for not wanting to do this by formula.
