Hi

Just type your first value into a cell, then grab the fill handle and pull
down the column and it will change the numeric part automatically.
The fill handle is the small black cross you see if you hover the cursor
over the bottom right corner of the cell. Hold your left mouse button down
to garb it, pull the mouse down the page as as far as required then release.

If you are going to go into the hundreds, then you might consider starting
with Lan001 rather than Lan01.
