Formula to incrementally increase serial number ending in a letter?

Here's the challenge: I have values that are a combination of numbers and letters. They are formatted as text. They end in a letter. I want to change the last letter of each so that it advances to the next letter in the alphabet. Is there a formula that can accomplish this?

Hi ty,
I just went ahead and did it both ways.
This should handle serial #s of any length, advancing the last letter.
This next formula handles a serial # of a fixed length, in this case 5 char including the ending letter. You would modify this to fit your #s length. ie if your serial # is 10 char including the final letter your would replace the "4" with "9".
Let me know if one of these works for you. Looks like the second one should do it.

  • TS3630 Is this replacement program still in place? I have just had a card fail that is listed as being faulty. Serial number ending 1M5A

    Is this replacement programme still in place? I have just had a card failed in my Mac Pro with a serial number ending in 1M5A

    It should be if you meet the requirements described in the article:
    This program covers affected ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video cards three years from the original date of purchase or until July 31, 2011, whichever provides longer coverage.
    However, since these cards were last used in the 2008 Mac Pros and the next model came out in early 2009 I would find it unlikely your card meets the requirements unless you bought a refurbished Mac Pro or bought a 2008 Mac Pro the had been sitting in someone's inventory for a very long time.

  • I have a serial number but it wont let me access the system?

    I paid $199.00 and tells me Im only using the free version???

    You paid that for what?  Acrobat perhaps?  Have you downloaded & installed it?  Have you activated it with your serial number?
    And what exactly do you mean by "free version"; can you give us the exact message or a screenshot: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

  • Two step serial number verification in PreUUT

    Hello all,
    I am using sequential model and trying to modify PreUUT so that I can implement two step verification for serial number using "Do While" loop with Message Popup. e.g. if the operator doesn't enter matching serial number it will loop again unitl matching serial number are entered in both popup entries. The issue is I could not save this, serial number, into global variable and print it in the report. Any help would be appreciated. Below is the example of my implementation within PreUUT;
    Do While (RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup1"].Result.Response) != (RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup2"].Result.Response)
    Message Popup1 -- "Enter UUT Serial Number"
    Message Popup2 -- "Re-Enter UUT Serial Number"
    End
    f(x) Statement -- Parameters.UUT.SerialNumber=locals.SerialNumber
    using NI TestStand 4.2

    First of all why would you need to put both on the Report?  If they are forced to enter the same serial number then it seems to me that you only need to display one of them.
    Secondly- See my example.
    Hope this helps

  • Where do I find the Creative Cloud Subscription Serial Number?

    I'm trying to add my subscription to my products and services and need the serial number for Creative Cloud? Within my Adobe products subscriptions and services there is no Adobe Creative Cloud subscription listed? In order to register this subscription I am required to enter a serial number for it to register? I do not understand why this subscription isn't automatically added to my accounts products and I'll be damned if I can find its serial number? Good Grief lets complicate matters, RIGHT? As simple as this wshould be, does anybody know where to locate it, please?

    Get in touch with support. CCM is automatically added on your account. If it isn't, then something went wrong.

  • CS4 suite serial number does not work for Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hello,
    I am looking for a solution for the serial number issue I am having with Adobe Acrobat Pro. All of other programs within the suite open fine, but when I open Adobe Acrobat Pro it asks for a serial number. When I type in the serial number, I am given a red "X".
    I have called customer support, but they haven't been able to give me any information that will resolve my issue (uninstalled 4 times now). I have Vista and have looked online and on the Adobe website to find a solution. It looks like others are having the same issue from what I can tell while searching. I have run the script too and then reinstalled, but still nothing.

    After some stupid upgrade in my computer (who knows as Microsoft is always doing something), my Acrobat 9 in CS4 stopped working. The error message said to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. So I went through the control panel and uninstalled it. I then loaded the CD and reinstalled. However the reinstall would NOT accept the orginal serial number. I called Adobe and they gave me a different serial number. Before I let the guy nof the line I tried the  number and it did NOT work! So then he gave me another number which  asked for the previous verison- apparently it was an upgrade number. Luckily I had my old CS3 software and I gave it that number and then it accepted the install. The program now works BUT there is no longer any ADD/REMOVE choice in the CS4 suite in the control panel. There is no way to automatically remove this program anymore! What a mess.
    After reading some of the installation problems others have had and no solutions, I count myself lucky! At least I was able to get the program running.
    Therefore my advise on the serial number problem is to get Adobe on the phonen and get them to give you a number that will work, and don't hang up until you know the program is working!
    If anyone knows how to add the Acrobat to the the add/remove functions in the control panel, please let me know!

  • Just bought CC, LR5 won't accept new CC serial number

    I just purchased CC and downloaded LR5 but it won't accept my new CC serial number, and will only let me continue with the trial version of the software. Help?
    I am also encountering a Download Error warning under the Apps tab on Creative Cloud desktop. Hitting the "reload applications" button just re-loads the error message.
    I am on a Mac 10.8.3.
    Thank you!

    Thanks Dave, that had been my understanding too, but then in trying to resolve the Download Error problem I had come across something that suggested I might need a serial number. I'll ignore that and focus on the Download Error! I guess I'd better post that in a new thread though unless you have any ideas about that? I tried downloading and installing LR5 from the Adobe site itself instead of through CC desktop but that didn't help: the first time I tried to open LR5 it said it had to be opened by AAM, which then produced the Download Error message again. The second time I attempted to open the software (and every attempt since) it asks me for a serial number. A computer restart hasn't helped.

  • PSE 13 inability to validate serial number, thinks it's not connected to internet

    I've installed Photoshop Element 13.1 (from  download) on Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit OS. I've entered the serial number to activate it, Every time I go into the software it keeps saying I need to validate the serial number, but doesn't let me validate it, it stating I'm not connected to the internet, yet it's capable of downloading its own updates! Problem occurs even if firewall is disabled.

    First of all are you both  sure you have serial numbers and not redemption codes? Adobe does this weird thing where sometimes instead of a serial number you get a redemption code that you use to get a serial number:

  • Stock transfer with serial number assignement. 309

    We need to make a transfer from Material to Material using the class movement 309 in IM, the problem is that one material is with serial number assignment and the other is not, both materials work with lot. When we try to make the transfer we get the error M7 174, the message is an error, and we change it to a warning, however, we still get the same error.
    In the process we really need to make this transfer because we sold this material in fractions and the serial number function don't let us move a material with decimals.
    Any one has seen the problem?
    Thanks

    Alex thanks for your answer, I tell you that as a first option we created two new classes of movement similar to the class of movement 561/562, but imputing to a different accounts, but we have activate the material ledger, the local currency is transferred without any problem , but the other currencies of the material ledger is transferred with the current exchange rate. We need transfer exactly all de currencies
    Our solution is make the 309 movement without the validation.
    Thanks

  • How to change serial number with existing one

    dear all,
    Our user create 2 different serial number with same material. let me say A and B. A is the correct serial number but fault historical. and B is the fault serial number but correct historical. The question is can we change the serial number, A with B and still got the correct historical from B
    Regards

    if both the serial number are present in stock & are assigned to a wrong material in this case what you can do is :
    Issue goods through movement 201 alongwith the existing serial numbers (mismatched) against a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment)
    Receive goods through movement 202 with correct Serial number a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment).
    eg. in your case :
    Document 1 with movement 201 to remove mismatched Serial number  :
    Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
    A-- 1--
    1
    B--  2--
    1
    Status of both serial number will change from ESTO to AVLB
    Document 2 with movement 202 to assign correct serial number :
    Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
    A-- 2--
    1
    B--   1--
    1
    this way you can resolve serial number mismatch case....
