Hi Biredndra
With the data in Col A, enter into A1, then copy down

We have a client that has several thousand rows of data in a single column
formatted as this example shows: A12345B. Where the alpha characters are
any of the 26 available. They want to change the leading alpha character
from whatever it is presently to an upper case X while leaving the rest of
the line unaffected.
Any and all help appreciated.
