Insert character at beginning of cell without changing contents
Insert a new row.
In the first cell of that row: (Assuming you inserted rowA and the old rowA is now RowB and the letter you want to insert is "P") ="P" & B1 or to insert P_ ="P_" & B1 or to insert P with a space = "P " & B1 Copy down for all rows. Highlight again and copy | paste special | values and then you can delete row B. You will be left with one row with your first letter and cell value.

Roger means "insert column" when he says "insert row"
In the first cell of that "column" enter ="P" & B1 Rest of it looks good. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 9 Jan 2008 13:46:14 -0800, Roger Converse wrote: Insert a new row.
