Default fill series with alphabetic

hi community

can community assist me in this task,

i wanted to fill series, say, I place alphabet letter, "a", in one cell and
when I drag downwards or sideways, it will display, say, I drag away with 5
cells, it will display,

a b c d e f...

is this possible?

i tried using the Series dialog box on "linear" , "Growth", it does not
work???

or is it not possible to do such action, cause Excel only able to do with
numeric data?

thanks community for the assistance given

Check out these old posts.

The first describes how to set-up A to Z.

The second describes how to go beyond Z, to AA, AB, AC ... to maybe SA, SB,
SC ... etc.
