Copy, paste special, delete old columns only necessary if you want to get rid of the original columns.

Just insert a new column and use concatenate to add "abcd" to the contents of the existing column. Then you could need to "copy" and "paste special...values" into a third column. Delete the original column and your "concatenate" column.

in next column (B) enter a formula
="abcd"&"A2"where a2 contains efg

and copy down the formula
"..
click and hold on the handle of the cell with the formula, and drag.."

So for example if we have efg I want to add abcd to the start to make abcdefg.

Is there an easy way to do it other than pasting it hundreds of times?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20671640 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:06:51 EDT
