how can I add an * to be the last character in a cell
 

I have 4,000 rows with data, and now realize I need an * to be the last
character in all of the cells in Column A. Please help.

how can I add an * to be the last character in a cell
 

Insert a helper column, and input this formula:
=A1&"*"

Copy down as needed. Then do a Copy, Paste Special - Values only onto column
A.

insert a "helper" column next to A. (it should be column B) in B1 enter
=a1&"*" and copy it down. Then copy/paste special to turn the column into
values.

You could run this lil macro.

Option Explicit

Sub thestar()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("A:A")
If c.Value < "" Then
c = c.Value & "*"
End If
Next
End Sub
