​How to create a field auto number with letter in it?

Hello, I want to know if it is posible to create an autonumber field the looks like this

A-01 to A-99
and then changes the letter B-01 to B-99, C-01

Hi,

This can be done using apex code. 

Create a text field.
In trigger check if for any specific alphabet 99 is reached and then start next letter in teh series.


Thanks
Jai

If we are creating autonumber then it will not stop at 99. it will create A-100. I think this needs to be done via code.

Use two for loops, outer loop will change your alphabet and inner loop will change the number..
