In ms excel 2000 - how can i copy and paste many entries in one column to another column and add a prefix?
I have
got a few hundred lines in an excel database (i am
no database genius you understand but use excel a lot).
i need to copy the product codes in one column to another column but add the prefix "eb" to each one.
so it looks something like:
3845 eb3845
478fh eb478fh
d9573 ebd9573
kjbt8 ebkjbt8
this is in excel 2000 so if it's in a menu it might be in a different place or not there at all in relation to other versions.
but hundreds of times over. the reason i am
doing it's
to get a database wizard to sort me out an access system for data-acrobatics.. i am
late getting the details to him and cannot
really ring him at midnight to ask silly questions, lol.
thanks in advance :)
yahaaa!! i like
you all! i
cannot
bear to pick a best answer, it worked tho :)
ok, decided to pick best answer as first one who got it so damn right - thnaks!!
gotta wait 4 hours :( will pick best next time, thanks again again :) :)
Answer
If 3845 is in a1, 478fh is in a2, etc. then put the following formula in b1 and copy/paste it down the whole column:
=concatenate( "eb", a1)
