Adding a -L at the end of each number within a column

[Jim S]

An example:

2.1.21-L
2.1.22-L
2.1.23-L
2.1.24-L
2.1.25-L

I would like to add -L to the end of each number in the column without doing
the manual process. How can I do this?

Do i need to put this in a macro or past it in a cell within the column?

In a blank column, place this formula (assuming your existing data are in
column A, starting in row 2):

=A2&"-L"

Then select all of the cells in the column with the above formula, down to
the end of your data, and select "Edit/Fill/Down" from the menu, or press
Control-D.

HTH,

Eric

Patrick has given you the code assuming you are familiar with macros.. This
will convert your data in Column A of the active sheet. Launch VBE using
Alt+F11 .From menu Insert a module and paste the code..Make sure you have the
code within the procedure (similar to below). Get back to workbook and trying
running the macro from Tools>Macro>...

Sub Macro()
' paste the code here
End Sub
