Adding numbers to current numbers
I have a current set of thousands of numbers and I need to put 54- in front
of the existing numbers, is there an easy way I can do this instead of manually going into the cells one by one? |
Need to clarify:-
Is this to be a calc, eg =54-20 or is this to be text, eg 54-2131-21-xyz -- Regards Ken.......................

Assuming your numbers are in columnA, put this in B1 and copy down......... ="54-"&A1 This will result in a TEXT number..........like a part number or item number, but not something you can do math with. Then you can Copy PasteSpecial Values on column B and delete column A if you wish. Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "mk" wrote in message ...
