RE: adding text to a column of exsisting data

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Make changes on a copy of your file, not the original!!!

If you want to add numeric data to numeric data, such as increasing every
entry in a column of numbers by 100:

place 100 in an empty cell & copy it
select all the numbers to be changed
use Edit>Paste Special> & click on Values and on Add
click on OK

If you want to add character data to an existing cell entry, use the formula

="new characters"&existing or
=existing&"new characters"

then copy all the formulas
select the original text
use Edit>Paste Special>Values to replace the original text
