Prepending text to a cell entry

[Kendosan1]

How can I prepend the contstant string "S" to each numeric value entered into
the cells in a column? For example, if a user enters "12345" into a cell, I
want the cell value to be "S12345".

using event code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Value = "S" & .Value
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Custom Format as "S"0.00

Leave off the .00 if you just want whole numbers.

The cell value will still be 12345 but display as S12345
