Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Can you please confirm what version of Excel you are using?

Hopefully you've seen Peter's solution, which is designed to work on your older version of Excel. Mine still will not work on versions prior to Excel 2010...sorry about that. The 65:90 construction used in the ROW function creates an array of {65;66;67;...;90}, which are the ASCII character codes for the capital letters A-Z. The CHAR function used the numeric array to return the array of capital letters {"A";"B";...;"Z"}, and this was used by the SEARCH function to determine where the units abbreviation began in the text string. But I see now that you have some units with lower case letters, so this would need further adjustment.

Please have a look at Peter's offering instead.
