Default Creating sequential numbers plus a letter

Hi all!

I am trying to make a list of numbers plus a letter:
00000001A
00000002A
00000003A
.......etc

I have tried to put the number in the first column and the letter in the second and use the formula =A1&""&B1, but its not working.

Any suggestions?

My file doesn't seem to recognize that what I am entering is a function.

I am starting at 00003600A, and when I put in =TEXT(ROW(A3600),"00000000A") it is just entered into the cell as text.
