    Auto populate cells with numbers and letters?

    I cant seem to figure out how to auto-populate or drag cells to copy downward in this way:

    1A
    1B
    1C
    1D
    1E
    2A
    2B
    2C
    2D
    2E
    3A
    3B
    3C
    3D
    3E
    etc, and so on... through 200 and i don't want to have to hand type each number and letter... Let me know if i explained well enough what i need done. Thanks

    Fill in the first 5

    1A
    1B
    1C
    1D
    1E

    Then use this formula:

    =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)+1 & RIGHT(A1,1)

    And drag down.

    Then, if you want, you just copy the column and paste as values.
