I have 7 columns, they are

Date - Req. Number - Requestor - Dept. - Notes - IOU,Yes/No - Status

The departments have a req. number assigned to that dept for trackin
and I have sorted the sheet to keep the depts. together. The dat
arrangement doesn't matter because it's for the month.

Shaw - 001
Shaw - 002
Maint - 001
Maint - 002 and so on.

When I type the "Maint" in the department, I want to auto generate th
next number like Maint - 003 for whatever department, I can sort th
data myself onless someone can tell me how to do both automatically. I
this can't be done maybe if I had something to work with I might be abl
to figure it out
