Default Auto-Fill Column based on data in each row

I need to take an existing worksheet with 2 columns and automatically fill a
third column with some static text combined with the value in the first
column for each row.

Example:
Existing Worksheet

A B
1 123 Desc
2 321 Desc
3 231 Desc


Worksheet With Added 3rd Column

A B C
1 123 Desc Static Text123
2 321 Desc Static Text321
3 231 Desc Static Text231

Any help is appreciated!

Dave

Fluke's and Eduardo's answers are identical, with the exception of the first
character. Are the + and = interchangeable or are any differences just not
manifesting themselves in my particular situation? Just curious. Thanks to
both of you.

The + and = are the same thing - they just tell it you're entering a formula.
