    Adding(Append) fix string before a particular cell

    Hi,

    I frequently require to add or append perticular string in some of the cells( note: cells are in sequence or together in the column ).
    It will be really helpful if we can do that in excel.

    e.g.

    If in perticular column, some of the column cells values are :
    ABC
    EFG
    HIJ
    KLM
    OPQ

    I want to add perticular string e.g. "IBM" on the beginning of the cell value.
    e.g.
    IBM ABC
    IBM EFG
    IBM HIJ
    IBM KLM
    IBM OPQ

    Right now I just copy and paste "IBM" in each cell.

    Is it possible like formula to set in formula for one cell and then drag.

    Thanks,

    Say the data in Column A enter this in B1 and drag down

    or you could use.
