    How Do I Append Text to Cell Data?

    I have data in column A.

    I want to add a standard string to the end of the text already contained within that cell.

    The appended text would simply be: -25533-ss

    So if Row 1 data was 462911898, then the end result would be: 462911898-25533-ss

    How do I go about doing that?

    Thanks,

    JH

    =A1 & "-25533-ss"
    Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate

    I figured it out with custom field.
    Thanks

    hash 9 times and then "-25533-ss"

    The hash 9 times will no longer work if your data number grows to 10 digits, but his solution will always work...
