    Question How to paste to multiple cells as a suffix?

    I am trying to paste to multiple cells as a suffix for example

    I have cells A1 to A5 with names of images

    .....A

    1 image_name_1
    2 image_name_2
    3 image_name_3
    4 image_name_4
    5 image_name_5

    How would I quikly add ".jpg" to the end of each word in multiple cells at once?

    Quickest way is to add a temporary helper column, for example:

    Assuming your data starts in A1, in column B (or any empty column), put the formula in B1:

    =A1&".jpg"

    Fill that down as many rows as there are values in A. Then select that entire column (B, in this example) and choose Edit->Copy. Then select column A and choose Edit->PasteSpecial->Values. This will overwrite column A with your concatenated data in column B. You can then delete column B.
