If you REALLY want to shorten your formula:
the =concatenate() function is a "throwback" to earlier versions of excel and
only included for "backward compatibility".
"technically", these two are the same
thing:=CONCATENATE("AB",TEXT(I2,"00000"))="AB" & TEXT(I2,"00000")

I added both formulas to the sheet.
Is there a way to get this done using VB, so I can leave the cells blank and
have this occur?

Hi, I've got an odd problem.
I have a database of some 15000 numbers.
10,000 of them (roughly), go from 1 to 10,000.Another 5,000 go from 1,000,000
to 2,000,000.
However, the numbers SHOULD AB00001 to AB10000.
I need to be able to type the root number in and have Excel decide what it
needs:
1 = AB00001 (7 digits)22 = AB00022 (7 digits)333 =
AB00333 (7 digits)4444 =AB04444 (7 digits)15555 = AB15555 (7 digits)
(excusing that this number won't exist above 10,000, but five digits.)100001 =
100001 (6 digits)200002 = 200002 (same length at 6 digits)
I have searched around quite a bit, but have been unable to find the terms to
search for to get these answers.I'm beginning to think I'll need to do it with
a VBA script, but am open to any simple method of doing it, since I type these
numbers dozens of times a day,
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help
Paul
