Hi, Jack.  It is not as complicated as you may think.

Your first group should fill down without a problem. It does in my spreadsheet. The third and fourth groups likewise.

You need to break the second group in two: b001c002 in the first column, v001 in the second column and, in the third column =Ax & Bx. Fill all columns down.

I have not found any information that will tell me if this can be done. I have looked on the OpenOffice.org site and followed several links to other sites with tutorials. I have tried to figure out how to do it from inside Calc.

This is an example of what I want to do.

b001c001v001
b001c001v002
b001c001v003

b001c002v001
b001c002v002

b002c001v001
b002c001v002

b002c002v001
b002c002v002

I could take several days to enter this one cell at a time for over 1500 cells

the cell column dialog wants to focus on the beginning of the string and not the end.
