Pre-pending and post-pending cell data in Excel

D

David Neustadt

Question:

Is there a VB command or a way in Excel to prepend and postpend data
in an Excel cell.

For example, let's say I have a column with the following numbers

11888
3623
1234

How can I format all the cells in that column so that numbers have an
* at the beginning and at the end? So my results would look like this.

*11888*
*3623*
*1234*

David:

you can do the following

Range("a2")= "*" & range("a2") & "*"

assume that the first row of data is in row a2
you will have to go over all cell to do the change.
