Thread: replacing text in all cells with existing text plus something

Hi,
I have a sheet with several rows and columns containing text. I would like
to add similar text to all the cells after the existing text. Is there an
easy way to do that?

thanks

avi2001, you could use a macro something like this,

Sub AddText()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range("A2:C25") 'change to your range
c.Value = c & " your text here"
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
