I have this macro that adds numbers (1,2,3) to words in cells.
The cells are not going to be in alphabetical order.

How can it be adapted to add letters instead?

Sub AddNumbers()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
Selection.Cells(i, 1) = Format(i, "00") & ". " & Selection.Cells(i, 1)
Next
End Sub

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Try:

Code:
Sub AddLetters()
Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
        Selection.Cells(i, 1) = Replace(Cells(1, i).Address(0, 0), 1, "") & ". " & Selection.Cells(i, 1)
    Next
End Sub

As long as you are not going to go above Z, try
Code:
Sub AddNumbers()
   Dim i As Integer
   For i = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
      Selection.Cells(i, 1) = Chr(i + 64) & ". " & Selection.Cells(i, 1)
   Next i
End Sub
