Adding a letter to the beginning of each part number of a column
I am trying to import a huge list of part numbers from an Excel spreadsheet
to our item list in our accounting software, and we like to preceed each part number by a 2 letter designation that tells us who our supplier is. Example: Techniks supplies toolholders for us. One of their part numbers is 21003, and all of them are purely numeric. I need to preceed each of about 2000 part numbers from this excel spreadsheet they have provided us with TK for Techniks so the part number would be TK21003. Any easy ways to get this done. I will probably need to make a helper column, but that's fine. I appreciate any suggestions. Brian Denny |

Adding a letter to the beginning of each part number of a column
let's say we have 21003 in cell A1. In an available (helper) column enter:
="TK" & A1 and copy down.

Adding a letter to the beginning of each part number of a column
If you have to preserve leading 0's:
="TK" & text(a1,"00000") And copy down.
