    How do I autofill combination of letters and numbers so that the numbers increment by 1?

    I'm trying to add SKU numbers to my inventory on a spreadsheet and want to put sku numbers as W01, W02, W03, etc and L01, L02, L03, etc. How do I autofill combination of letters and numbers so that the numbers increment by 1? When I use the fill option it just keeps the same text as the previous text box.

    If I type W01 in A1 and W02 in A2 and then highlight both cells and grab the little plus in the lower right hand corner and drag down, it autofills to the the cell I stop dragging to.

    That doesn't work for me. When I highlight the 2 cells and drag down it just duplicates the last cell over and over.

    Did you try with three cells. That works for me.
