Prefixing a number to the number in a cell

[Sherees]

I have in column A, 1000 numbers, now i need to prefix an identical number to
all the 1000 numbers in A column. What is the easiest way?. I want the number
to be prefixed in the same A column.. Pls help

Hi Sherees,

Try this, as I don't believe you can do this with a formula.

Sub PrefixItsSelf()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = cell.Value & cell.Value
Next
End Sub

Copy into the sheet module and select the cells you want to prefix and then
run the macro.

HTH

Hi,

The answer depends on what you want to do with this prefixed number if it's
purely for show then apply a custom format of (say)
"99999"&#

Now any number will have the prefix of 99999

If that doesn't do it for you then post back
