Adding text

[Lowggy]

I have an Excel spreadsheet generated from another program. It is set up so I can print it out on Avery labels but I missed one piece of information I want to add to every block of data. How can I do that in Excel.
thanks in advance.

All depends on how the data is laid out in your spreadsheet. Not enough information so far to provide an answer.

You can add an image of your sheet in your next post. Make sure it shows everything you presently are working with.
You can also post a copy of your workbook (leave out any confidential info) to a CLOUD site like DROPBOX.COM, Google has a cloud site, Amazon has a cloud site, etc.

Having a copy of your workbook would be best. Reduces the asking of questions back and forth.

Attached is a copy of my file. It may vary a bit so that I can fit it into a printout with avery forms. What I want to do is add a sentence in an area below the cells that have the time and total of handicaps but I want to do it once and have it show up under all the time stamps.

I understand (can visualize) what you are working with now. However, without having the workbooks here to edit it's going to be impossible to provide any assistance.

The answer you are seeking may lie with the original program that is generating the spreadsheet. Or it may lie in the spreadsheet once the data is compiled there. Hard to tell.
I am presuming you have more than 4 labels to print ? The four you presented below are just an example of perhaps hundreds/thousands ?

 

[Lowggy]

Yes it is a part of a list of 40 teams of 4somes. I just want to add some text to each group of 4 and have that text printed so I can hand it out to al, the groups. Is it better that I post the actual Excel spreadsheet in dropbox? How do I do that?

I've never used DropBox but I'm certain it isn't difficult to use. I understand they have an app you download to your computer which makes it easier. Not certain if they provide a free version.

I know that Amazon has a free version - that's what I use. This is the link for signing up : https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=15547130011

Ok, I will try it when I figure out how to do it. Thank you very much. Can you tell me exactly what this code will do.

Click the link, and follow the 'bouncing ball' for download .... (not literally).

Can you tell me exactly what this code will do.

It will do what you were asking. Can't promise the label will be able to accept everything you are wanting it to. You may need to adjust the Font size and/or spacing.
Experiment and see.
