    =IF(OR(A2=1,A2=2),"T"&B2,B2)

    Hi Glen,

    Yes, but I want it to be permanent. Suppose the values in column A are accidentally changed, it will cause problem.

    I want to Concatenate T to EID

    Thanks..

    Glenn's solution is working perfectly...

    Without any identifier, how could you identify the Section for each EID?

    Unless you have a full list of EIDs under each section in a seperate sheet
