Hello,

I am new to Excel,
I need help to know how to add text to a non-empty cell.
On Excel 2010 (and for a beginner like me) (I don’t know what macros are)
In 900 cells, I need to put, for example, "store" before the store name in the same cell.
I cannot copy and paste because each cell has a different name.
Or is it possible to merge two columns and keep both texts?
Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 59.0.3071.115

    ... and above all, do not merge!

    Hello

    More simply, if it’s just a matter of changing the display, select the 900 cells, then right-click Cell Format - Custom and enter in Type: ""store "@

    Best regards
    Via
