Hello

I have many colums of data (characters)

What I want to do is, highlight the required cells in the column and then
either press a button or whatever to trigger the code to run.

The code should append numbers to the existing data.


for e.g:

Column:

AA
BB
TH
XH
HB
SO

I want the code to do this:

30AA
31BB
32TH
33XH
34HB
35SO

Can the code ask me what is the starting number I want to append?

Can somebody show me a sample how to do this?

Thank you very much.

Hello Hemang Shah,

This macro will prompt you for a starting number and then appen it t
the data in the cells you have selected. The cells need not b
contiguous.

Add a VBA module to your project and paste this macro into. You ca
then assign the macro to an object or run it using the Macro Dialo
(press ALT+F8 while in Excel).


Code
-------------------

Sub AppendNumber()

Dim Answer
Dim ChoosenCells As Range
Dim I As Long

Answer = InputBox("Enter your starting sequence number.")
If Answer = "" Then Exit Sub
I = Answer

For Each ChoosenCell In Selection
With ChoosenCell
.Value = I & .Text
End With
I = I + 1
Next ChoosenCell

End Sub

-------------------


Sincerely,
Leith Ros
