Incrementing letters

[Opinicus]

How do you increment letters in Excel? That is, if I have a
"C" in A1 what formula will give me "D" in A2? I tried the
CHAR function but it doesn't do what I want.

Hi!

With "C" in A1:

Enter this in A2 and copy down as needed:

=CHAR(CODE(A1)+1)

CODE! (Slaps self on forehead.) Thanks!

You could create a "custom list", so that the alphabet will automatically
increment, just as the numbers do, and you'll never have to do it again.

Enter the alphabet in a column, and then select the column.

Then,
<Tools> <Options> <CustomLists>

The "Import List" window should have your selected cells already entered by
default.

Now, simply click on <Import>, then <OK>.
