Hi

I need some help to add same text to multiple cells which already contains data spread over my worksheet at one time. Adding it one by one is not a good option.

eg. I have cells with values 213, 423, 323, 205 and want to add "T" at the end of all the values in the same cell.

How do I do it?

Your help is appreciated

Thanks and regards

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hi Erik

Yes, I know about FIND+REPLACE, the problem is that some of the cells containing 213 has not to be changed or added with T. I need to select the cells and than add the required text.

Sorry I did not mention this in my previous message

Thanks and Regards

I am not sure how this would be done with any code, but if you have an empty column or row that you can copy the data in to there is a really simple way to do it. To show an example I have the following data listed in each of the cells listed:

A1=213
A2=423
A3=323
A4=205
A5=T

Then in cell B1 I have the following formula entered in "=CONCATENATE(A1,$A$5)." From here you just have to drag and copy the formula down the row or column and it will add the "T" to whatever is in the adjacent cell. If you don't want to use that formula you can even enter "=A1&$A$5" and it will give the same results that you can drag and copy.

I am not sure if that will work for you, but hopefully it helps some.

OK,
you want to add a "T" at the end for certain cells
but you didn't tell us when the "T" must be added and when not :confused:

what do you mean with this
I need to select the cells and than add the required text.
are you actually going to "select" them before the operation ??

please provide some examples

best regards,
Erik

Hi Erik

Thanks a lot for your kind reply, however I did figure out what to do, infact your idea of FIND+REPLACE works very well. Earlier when you did send me the idea, I just went blank and did not think to what to do.

Once again thank you

Regards
