...
right now i have a column which lists drawing numbers (11549974) and such.
i
want to just add "SH1" to the end of each drawing number. in the column,
there are several hundred listed. what code do i need to add the SH1 onto
the end without changing the existing number?

ex. 11579974 --- 11579974 SH1
