Comments

The sequence contains regular cuboctahedra (A005902) on the x-axis, regular octahedra (A005900) on the y-axis, and regular truncated octahedra (A005910) on the diagonal. As for the rest, they each have 6 squares of the same area, while the 8 hexagons (of another same area) have 2 side lengths which alternate.

The x-axis represents an increasing degree of truncation, while the y-axis represents an increasing quantity of units on the remaining original octahedron edge.

Paste the following formula into cell C3, and fill down and right to desired table size. All volumes 10,000 and under are covered by column Q and row 27.
=(2*(ROW()-2)^3+10*(COLUMN()-2)^3+12*(ROW()-2)^2*(COLUMN()-2)+24*(ROW()-2)*(COLUMN()-2)^2-12*(ROW()-2)^2-39*(COLUMN()-2)^2-48*(ROW()-2)*(COLUMN()-2)+25*(ROW()-2)+47*(COLUMN()-2)-18)/3

Formula

v=(2*y^3+10*x^3+12*y^2x+24*Y*x^2-12*y^2-39*x^2-48*y*x+25*y+47*x-18)/3
