MS Office Forum / Excel / General Excel Questions / March 2008How do I automatically add a prefix to cell value in Excel?
If I have a list in which the first characters repeat, (i.e. CDAxxxx), how do I make it so that I only have to type the xxxx and the CDA is automatically prepended? You could use a helper column, for example: In cell A1, type "xxxx" In cell B1, put formula ="CDA"&A1 HTH, JP > If I have a list in which the first characters repeat, (i.e. CDAxxxx), how do > I make it so that I only have to type the xxxx and the CDA is automatically > prepended?
