Default HowTo add a period to front of EVERY text cell in a Excel column

Adam,

If you only want one period:

Sub Macro1()
Dim myCell As Range

For Each myCell In Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 2)
If Left(myCell.Value, 1) < "." Then myCell.Value = "." & myCell.Value
Next myCell
End Sub

If you want another period whether one exists or not, simply delete this:
If Left(myCell.Value, 1) < "." Then

HTH,
