How to create increment number with or inside text in Excel?

In Excel, the AutoFill Handle feature helps you to fill continuous numbers with a certain increment. But, if you want to create the increment numbers with texts in Excel, the AutoFill Handle will not work. In this vedio, we will show you two methods to create increment numbers with text in Excel.

Increment number with text by formula in Excel

You can create increment number with text by formula in Excel, please do as follows.

1. Create a worksheet with contents as below screenshot shown:

A. In cell A2, type the text string before the numbers.
B: Column B is the increment number column, in cell B2, type the first increment number, and then fill the below cells with the increment number you need.
C: In cell C2, type other text string after the numbers, in this example, please enter @localdomain.com (you need to format this cell as Text in advance).

2. In cell D2, type the below formula into it and press the Enter key. Select the result cell and then drag the Fill Handle down to the cells you want to get the increment number with text. See screenshot:

=$A$2&TEXT(B2,"000")&$C$2

Notes:

1. In the formula, “000” is the number of digits you want to insert between the texts.
2. In the formula, the texts referenced cells should be absolute.

Now you get the increment numbers with or inside texts.
