Concatenation
 

Hi Folks!

Trying to figure out how to concatenate a string to each cell in a range of
cells.

I tried this:

Selection.Value = ""123"" & Selection.Value

Of course that did not work!

I guess VBA concatenation is different from worksheet concatenation.

Thanks!

Using " instead of "" it works fine for me

I removed one set of "" and it works if I select a single cell but I want to
do this for a range of cells.

Instead of doing this:

="123"&A1

copy down, then copypaste specialvalues, then drag to column A.

Thanks!

Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = "123" & cell.Value
Next cell
