How do I insert a symbol AT THE END of text for multiple cells in Excel?
I'm trying to add a double quotation at the end of all text entries in
a column and I have over 1000 entries. Can somebody tell me how do I do this? It would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

Hello. 1.Just write the double quotation in a empty cell. 2.In a column in front of your data enter a formula: +<The first cell of your data range&<Cell where you wrote the double quotation 3.Fix ($) the reference to the cell containing the double quotation. 4.Copy this cell until the end of your data. 5.Don't forget to transform you new data in Values.

"Fix the reference" means add $ signs to the cell reference to keep it Absolute
as opposed to Relative. See Help on this subject. Assuming G1 contains the " Column A contains the text entries. In B1 enter =A1 & $G$1 then double-click on the fill handle of B1 to copy down to end of data in Column A. The A1 will increment but $G$1 will not. When happy, select column B and copy. Paste Special(in place)ValuesOKEsc Clear the contents of G1 and delete Column A Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On 19 Jun 2006 07:22:00 -0700, "doiley6167" wrote: Thx for the promt response.
