You could make a column and try this formula, put the actual cell reference
in the fomula where your numbers start, then copy this down the column.

=IF(RIGHT(A1,1)="*","Asterisk Here!","No Asterisk!")

Yeah but I have to replace them to so its irritating not being able to
use the replace all function. Any good formula for that?
