Hi All,

Ashidacchi I want to insert auto serial no. in Column A of Sheet2. First row can be ignored as I am using that as
Joined Jun 2007 Header. Serial No will be assigned based on the last row of B Column.For example, If B10 is the last
Ashidacchi's threa… 0 used cell in Sheet2 then Serail number would be 1-9 starting from A2 to A10. I want to achieve this by
3 5 15 Show activity
Sign in clicking on a command button which is present in Sheet1. Also is it possible to have 'All Border' upto
to
vote last cell of B Column? Means, if B12 is the last used cell in Sheet2 then I want to have 'All Border' in
A1:B12.

Thanks..

Hi Asadulla,

It's very nice to have your code. It;s working exactly as I mentioned above. Only one question I have
i.e. is it possible to have 'All border' in C Column also? At the time of clicking the button from Sheet
0 I have value in only B Column of Sheet2 But I want to have 'All Border' in A,B,C Column upto last
Sign in used cell of B Column.
