Hello
with a macro it's doable but I don't quite understand the issue
1. does

1235 1236 1237 1255 1256 1263

become

JE 1235 1236 1237 JE 1255 1256 JE 1263

2. we need to know where the data to be processed is located

the simplest thing would be to send a part of your file via cjoint.com with what you expect

good continuation

if you want the thousand separator JE 185 066

"JE" # ###
