I've attached a screenshot of the database file I need to make. I figured out how to get the numbers to create the pattern but when I leave in the Letters and dash, it won't create the pattern. Thanks in advance for the help

I am not any kind of proficient in Excel, I tried to copy and paste and drag down but that isn't working, can you give me a step by step by chance 😁

In A1, put the number that you want your list to go up to. I had 20.
In A2 put this formula:
="AT-"&TEXT(INT(SEQUENCE(4*A1,1,1,0.25)),"000")

No dragging needed.
