Differential formulas for coefficients in the Laplace-type series of an arbitrary spherical tensor fLM (r+R) are given in terms of an operator N applied to the radial part cursive-phi(r) of fLM(r). Very compact and convenient expressions for N in terms of operator Pochhammer symbols are established. A special representation of the coefficients of the Laplace-type series, in terms of the operator Gauss function 2F1, is given, which, in turn, provides a remarkably short proof of two earlier Sack expansions. More general gradient formulas are introduced and numerous particular cases of the Laplace-type expansions are considered in detail.
