To modify only the last three digits of a serial number string in Excel VBA, extract the last three characters, convert them to a number, add your desired value while ensuring it stays within a three-digit range, then update the original string with the modified digits. 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 number
End 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.
