Of course it's possible. A couple of approaches:
A. Place 1 in any empty cell. copy that cell to the clipboard. Select range to change. Edit -> paste special -> check add/subtract -> OK. Values in range change
B. Place 1 in an empty cell (D1 for example). In the column where you would like the new values output enter the formula =a1+$D$1 and copy down the column. Now whatever value you put in D1 will be added to the values in column A. if you want to subtract, just enter -1 into D1.

try this
select the cells in which you want to add + before the number
right click-->format cells--->go to number tab--->go to custom

Hi,
This is very easy. you have to use a formula in excel to do that. here we go....
lets say you have a list of mobile numbers in colum B.
and you want to add +91 before each number. for this put 91 in colum A.(if you want to put 91 at the end that Put 91 in C colum.)
Now in the same row but colum C put this formula.. =CONCATENATE(A1,B1) and now ENTER. note A1 and B1 are the cell number that you want to join.
your job is done.
I appreciate this is an old thread and in part it does answer my query, but not quite, so is anyone able to point my towards a solution for this issue.
All I want to do is add 1 to every number that appears in a column. I thought the solution was to use the paste special option and that has worked to a degree, all the numbers in the column have indeed had 1 added to them, BUT the numbers in my original column appear at randam places and in between them are blank cells ( eg. in a column, there might be 3 blank cells between 2 numbers, followed by 5 blank cells between the next) Although the paste special option has added one to all the values, it has also inserted the value 1 in all the blank cells between the two numbers. I found the rather obvious "skip blanks" check box in the Paste Special check boxes but that hasn't solved the problem.
I seem to have got close to answering the problem myself, but frustratingly I've tripped at the final hurdle.
I'm saying to Excel, " look down this column, and wherever you see a number, add 1 to it... BUT DO NOT, add anything to cells that are empty. Any advice would be gratefully received.
