Step 2: Select both the cells, and drag the fill handle 
across the range that you want to fill.

· 2 years agoI was successful in setting up 'Customize and insert unique sequence numbers with suffix and prefix'
But, when I print it will only print the first number. It will not print my 50 pages with sequential numbers (201500941, 201500942, 201500943, etc)
What am I doing wrong? -
