Default Creating a series of cells with multiple incrimenting characters

Try this:

="MM"&INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/5)*2+1&CHAR(MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,5)+65)

copy down as far as needed

Hi,

I need to create a series of 1000 cells down a column. They will be in this
format:

MM1A
MM1B
MM1C
MM1D
MM1E
MM3A
MM3B
MM3C
MM3D
MM3E
MM5A
MM5B
MM5C
.....

So, the first 2 characters are always the same, the 3rd character, an odd
number incriments by 2 every 6th row, and the fourth character changes
alphabetically through 5 rows, then it resets to "A"...

Please give me some ideas?

Thanks,
