Here's a concise code snippet: Sub IncreaseLastThreeDigits() Dim serialNumber As String serialNumber = "ABC123456" ' Replace with your serial number Dim lastDigits As Long lastDigits = (CLng(Right(serialNumber, 3)) + 100) Mod 1000 ' Increase by 100 (for example) serialNumber = Left(serialNumber, Len(serialNumber) - 3) & Format(lastDigits, "000") ' Update serial number MsgBox "Updated Serial Number: " & serialNumber ' Display updated serial numberEnd Sub Replace "ABC123456" with your actual serial number string and adjust the + 100 part to increase the last three digits by your desired value. Execute this code in Excel VBA to view the updated serial number in a message box. read less
