In general, you do not want to use the numbers or letters to refer to actual things. For example, if you have 10 students and you want to number them 1-10, do that in a separate dedicated row or column titled "Student Number"
Exactly the problem. Thanks.

EricH, I am probably being dense, but ... if I enter this longer string of characters in each row in column A, does it ever become automatic in the sense that:
- next row will be labeled with a number one higher than the preceding row AND
- perhaps more importantly, if I insert or delete a row for a new or departing student, can the rows in column A be made to readjust?
If this is too much to explain, not to worry and thanks for your help thus far!
