Default Add text to cells

One way ..
In any starting cell, say in B2:
="L"&TEXT(ROW(A1),"000")&"S"&TEXT(ROW(A1),"000" )
Copy B2 down as far as required

Default Add text to cells

Always 4 characters--alpha, numeric, alpha, numeric?

If yes:
=LEFT(A1,1)&TEXT(MID(A1,2,1),"000")&MID(A1,3,1)&TE XT(MID(A1,4,1),"000")
