Default Can excel take content from another cell and add information either side??


Gary,

You can do this using a separate column and the & sign.

In column E type in the formula:

="http://www.mywebsite.com/images"&"/"&A2&"-FULL.jpg"

I used 123 for the Product Code in column A.

This results in:

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/123-FULL.jpg

You can then drag that down for all product codes. If you want to
create actual links, copy column E and use Paste Special - Values in
column D. This creates text that when you double click on it it
changes to a link. There may be an easier way to change all the values
at once in column D but I am not sure.

If you are not creating links and just need the value to appear in
column D, just type the formula in column D and drag down.

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers,
Steve
