One way is to CONCATENATE.........using a helper column, say column B, put
this in B1 and copy down

="W"&A1

Then do copy PasteSpecial Values on Column B to remove the
formulas........then delete column A if you wish......

It can also be done with VBA code, without using a helper column, if that
method is of interest.......

I have a column of part numbers that I want to re-identify with a "W" in
front of the number. There has to be a quick way of doing this but
everything I have tried fails.
Any advice??
