    Adding a suffix in series of numbers

    What would the formula be to add a suffix in a series of numbers?
    Example:

    51-4001 should be 51-4001PHM

    Thanks!

    If it's just for appearance sake, you can format the cells

    Format Cells> Custom> General; @"PHM"

    Otherwise, you'll need to concatenate in another cell and Paste Special > Values back into the original cell.
    =IF(A1<>"", A1&"PHM", "")

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Thank you. It worked for the one cell but I need to drag it down the column but the numbers are random numbers and not in sequence.

    Which worked? The Formula?
    Just copy the formula down the column. The cell reference (i.e. A1) will automatically change as you copy it down. For clarity, you could attach an example workbook (Go Advanced> Manage Attachments)
