How do I automatically add a prefix to cell value in Excel?
 

If I have a list in which the first characters repeat, (i.e. CDAxxxx), how do
I make it so that I only have to type the xxxx and the CDA is automatically
prepended?

You could use a helper column, for example:

In cell A1, type "xxxx"

In cell B1, put formula

="CDA"&A1
