    Trouble filling with unique series

    I am trying to number a spreadsheet to keep track of ticket sales. These numbers will fill column A. The series should look like:
    1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 1G 1H 2A 2B 2C 2D 2F 2G 2H and so on until I reach 100H. Is there an easy way to do this?

    popipipo that was most excellent! It worked great. How can I use that formula while leaving the cell A1 blank so I can have a title?

    This appears to work. Enter in A2 and copy down.
