Default sequential number code

Interesting.

Replacing W with A, C, works but replacing W with B, D doesn't. Wonder if
that pattern repeats for the entire alphabet.

I am using the following function to create some sequential numbering:

=TEXT(ROW(A1), "W2-0000")

The problem I am having is when I try to change the W2 to H (or some other
letters) the formula no longer works and I get #VALUE!.

Does anyone know what might cause this and how to correct it? It seems like
changing only certain letters create the error.
