Do you want to add the same text to each of the 5000 products?

Assuming the products are in column A starting at A1

In B1 enter =A1 & " " & "more text"

Double-click the fill handle to copy down.

Select column B and copypaste specialvaluesokesc

Delete column A

If different text for each product...................F2 to get into edit
mode then ad the text.

I run a store with over 5000 products and I upload them by excel. My 5000
products have data already in there cells. I need to add addition information
without erasing the previous data already entered over the 5000 products in
the cell. How do I do this?


I just tried doing this. The problem is, that when I delete the previous column, the cell turns into this "#REF!"

With the original column gone the data disappears,

what I am trying to do is this.

I have catalogs from my companies of products I sell.

I want to be able to add lines at the same time.

Here is a pic of what i'm trying to do, except 100's to 1000's of items with different lines of text.
