in B4 type
="x"&A4
you can copy this down to b5 abd B6
try and see whether you get what you want.

I am working on this project & I cant figure out how to add a letter in
front of each number in a cell without clicking in to each individual cell
and typing it in. (very time consuming and tedious) The problem is - it's
not
all the cells but a majority, all of the numbers are in the same column.
To
explain, these are documents in storage. Each item is assigned a number
(not
in any particular numerical order but they have to stay in the order they
are.
Example:
X39655
X39656
X39711
39662
39664
39665
The last three numbers need the X in front of them.
Any ideas? Thanks so much!!
I read this previous reply and I'm not getting it.......I'm Excel
challenged
:-(
Use a help formula
=Sheet1!A1&"scc"
copy down/across, then copy and paste special as values in place ,
finally replace the old values with the new
