I have what might be an odd question. I have a map that has even-sized plots within it. The latitude can range from 0 - 1200 and the longitude can range from 0 - 1200. I'm trying to list every single latitude & longitude combination possible (yes, I know it'll be a lot). How can I go about this?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
On an empty sheet.
Code:
Sub Maybe()
Dim i As Long, j As Long
ActiveSheet.Cells.NumberFormat = "@"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For i = 0 To 1200
        For j = 0 To 1200
            Cells(j + 1, i + 1).Value = "Lat " & i & " - " & "Long " & j
        Next j
    Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Many thanks!

This is about 4 times faster on my machine.
Code:
Sub With_Formula()
ActiveSheet.Cells.NumberFormat = "General"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("A1:ATE1201")
    .Formula = "=""Lat "" & ROW()-1&"" - ""&""Long ""&COLUMN()-1"
    .Value = .Value
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

A formula variant for modern Excel:

Excel Formula:
=SEQUENCE(1201,,0)&", "&SEQUENCE(,1201,0)
