For x = 1 To 9
Cells(x, 1).Value = x & "-" & Cells(x, 1).Value
Next x

Does that work for you? - Piku

I understand. Here is what the code I posted does if it is completel
unaltered. The line that says, “For x = 1 To 9” is used here to ru
through rows 1 – 9. It runs the code between that and “Next x” onc
for each row. The variable named “x” stands for the number of the ro
that is currently being worked with. It takes the information in th
first cell of the row, no matter what it says, and adds the number o
the row and a dash to the front of the value of the cell.
SO, if cell A1 says “city”, it gets changed to “1-city”
If it contains the word “airplane” it changes into “1-airplane”
Cell A2 goes from “candy” to “2-candy” and so on.

I was uncertain that I fully understood what you intended to accomplis
with this, so if this is not the affect you wanted, please let me know
Also, I want to stress that the code I posted should be use
unaltered. You should cut and paste it to wherever you want it an
change nothing. I would like to explain the code in a bit more detail
but I am on my way out the door. I'm sure someone else would be happ
to take care of that for you if you request it. - Piku
