Does anyone know how to insert text into a cell that already has data in it? At my company, I need to perform a massive journal entry. In order for the journal entry to occur, the data needs to be in a specific format.

My problem is that I have 5, 200 line items that need to be uploaded into our system. Each line item contains a check number. For example:


123456

But I need the check number to be like this, all in the same cell:

* Check #123456


So I need to insert:

* Check #

before the check number, all in the same cell.

Does anyone know??? Thanks!! :rolleyes:
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You need to use a query, so create an expression as follows:

Expr1:"Cheque #" & [ChequeNumberField]
