adding text to column cell if there's a value present
I have a column of about 3000 cells...some of them are empty and some have a
number in them from 1 to 4 digits (21 , 454, 1001, 2) etc. These are address/unit numbers. I'm trying to write a function that will check each cell and if there's a value in it...write Unit 'value' so I get Unit 454 , etc. If the cell is empty...then there's no "Unit" text added ? Been trying for awhile but don't seem to be getting close...any ideas on this type of function ? Thanks, Tim |

You can use this IF function to produce the result you need:
=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),"Unit "&A1,"") Change the Column as needed and copy it down to the last row. You can also use if the column having unit numbers has something like 12B: =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"","Unit "&A1) -- Kevin Backmann "Tim R" wrote: I have a column of about 3000 cells...some of them are empty and some have a number in them from 1 to 4 digits (21 , 454, 1001, 2) etc. These are address/unit numbers.

Thanks, Tim The following will work...assuming that your units are in column A and that the actual unit numbers begin in row 2. Jennifer Sub Modify_Text() Dim X As Integer Dim sValue As String For X = 2 To 3000 If Sheet1.Cells(X, 1).Value < "" Then sValue = Sheet1.Cells(X, 1).Value Sheet1.Cells(X, 1).Value = "Unit " & Sheet1.Cells(X, 1).Value End If Next X End Sub |
