Greetings, I already have the basic VBA but I just need to fine tune it to pick up ANY letter except the Letter B.
The VBA I'm using is
VBA Code:
Sub Depositioner()
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        Select Case Left(ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1).Value, 2)
            Case "AV"
                ActiveSheet.Range("G" & i).Value = ActiveSheet.Range("G" & i).Value & " DEPOSITIONER"
        End Select
    Next i

End Sub

However I need the wildcard the first letter. I tried using both "?V", and "*V". I am hoping to have this apply to any letter or number in the first position with the Exception of the letter B.

Thank you vey much indeed.

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub Depositioner()
  Dim i As Long
  For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If Left(Cells(i, 1).Value, 2) Like "*V" Then
      Range("G" & i).Value = Range("G" & i).Value & " DEPOSITIONER"
    End If
  Next i
End Sub

Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub Depositioner()
  Dim i As Long
  For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If Left(Cells(i, 1).Value, 2) Like "*V" Then
      Range("G" & i).Value = Range("G" & i).Value & " DEPOSITIONER"
    End If
  Next i
End Sub
That is beautiful, in reference to part B to the question. I just need one little exception to the asterisk. That is I need this rule to be ignored in the first letter is a Letter B. Thank you so much.

I skipped that part. Try this

VBA Code:
Sub Depositioner()
  Dim i As Long
  For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If Left(Cells(i, 1).Value, 2) Like "*V" And Left(Cells(i, 1).Value, 1) <> "B" Then
      Range("G" & i).Value = Range("G" & i).Value & " DEPOSITIONER"
    End If
  Next i
End Sub
