    Replace pieces of text

    I have a spreadsheet where I have an Item Ref number and 3 associated images.

    eg.

    Item Ref Image1 Image2 Image3
    2800 2800-a.jpg 2800-b.jpg 2800-c.jpg

    I now need to add 500 more images, and was wondering if someone knew of a way for me to add the Ref No. and Image1 Image2 Image3 are filled in by taking the Ref No and adding -a.jpg , -b.jpg , -c.jpg to it. Hope I explained what I am trying to achieve.


    Item Ref Image1 Image2 Image3
    2800 2800-a.jpg 2800-b.jpg 2800-c.jpg
    2801 2801-a.jpg 2801-b.jpg 2801-c.jpg
    2802 2802-a.jpg 2802-b.jpg 2802-c.jpg

    use

    =A2&"-a.jpg"
    =A2&"-b.jpg"
    =A2&"-c.jpg"

    and copy down
