I would like to have one or more macros to be shared with anyone working on the similar worksheets. I would like it to create a sequence to read like the following example:

ABC-0001
ABC-0001
ABC-0001
ABC-0002
ABC-0002
ABC-0002
ABC-0003
ABC-0003
ABC-0003

and, start from a higher number:

ABC-0050
ABC-0050
ABC-0050
ABC-0050
ABC-0051
ABC-0051
ABC-0051
ABC-0051
ABC-0052
ABC-0052
ABC-0052
ABC-0052

The ability to increment with additional letters or numbers involved would be helpful, but understandably difficult:

A-ABC-0052-X
A-ABC-0052-Q
A-ABC-0052-S
B-ABC-0052
D-ABC-0052
A-ABC-0053-X
A-ABC-0053-Q
A-ABC-0053-S
B-ABC-0053
D-ABC-0053
A-ABC-0054-X
A-ABC-0054-Q
A-ABC-0054-S
B-ABC-0054
D-ABC-0054

Thank you for your help.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
This should accomplish the first two:

Code:
Sub test()
Dim startingNumber As Long, timesTorepeat As Long, endingNumber As Long
startingNumber = Application.InputBox("Enter Starting Number:", Type:=1)
timesTorepeat = Application.InputBox("Number of Times to repeat each Number:", Type:=1)
endingNumber = Application.InputBox("Last Number in Sequence:", Type:=1)
With Range("A1:A" & ((endingNumber - startingNumber) * timesTorepeat) + timesTorepeat)
    .Formula = "=""ABC-""&TEXT(-INT(-ROW(A" & (startingNumber * timesTorepeat) - (timesTorepeat - 1) & ")/" & timesTorepeat & "),""0000"")"
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

So in the first sample, start number is 1, times to repeat is 3, end number is 3
Second sample, start number is 50, times to repeat is 4, end number is 52
