Hopefully a simple macro to precatenate data in a column
That's helpful but I was hoping for something more automated. I should've
written that I have a lot of worksheets and a lot of columns to do this on.
This solution would still be fairly labor intensive and prone to errors or my
part.
Does anybody have a more automated method?
Cheers

Use a helper column:
Say your data is in column A. In B1 enter:
="_" & A1
and copy down. Then copy column B and paste/special/values back onto column
A.

Sorry if this is really easy or not possible. I'm a dba with very little
Excel experience. I've been given an Excel spreadsheet to import into a
relational database there are some data consistency issues...
Anyway, what I'd like to do is insert an underscore at the front of the data
in each cell in a column - preferably in only those cells that have data. So
if the cell has ABCDEF in it it'd become _ABCDEF .
Any clues on how to accomplish this? Thanks.
