Default Replacing numbers

Worked.
Thank you very much. I was trying to use * to place hold for the last 3
numbers and it didn't work.
Thanks again.

I have a spreadsheet which contains 6 digit numbers (i.e.209111, 209112,
209113).
I would like to perform a bulk replace for just the first 3 numbers.
Turn 209*** into 210***.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Randy
