it should look like: J-7,4x8',Base,8"w,96"

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Any chance you can post your data with XL2BB - Excel Range to BBCode

So in your last column you have text like " e bases" or text starting with " J-7 ". What has to go where ? ( in your original picture only strings starting with J-7)

take the J-7 as an example:
column K:
4x8',Base,8"w

column O:
J-7 STORM MANHOLE
I just need the J-7 to go in front of the 4x8, like this
J-7 4x8',Base,8"w

This is what I have so far

VBA Code:
Sub StructureID() 'Add structure ID to P1
     c4 As Range
     For Each c4 In rng
        If c4 Like "*Base*" Then
            c4 = c4.Offset(, 4) & "," & c4
        End If
     Next c4
End Sub
