this is my data and I need to add a prefix to this , analyzer is 600 all the way to Ultrasonic cleaner is 635. Just dont know how and I have only been using excel about 3 weeks.

In my book it says
use the CONCATENATE function to add the appropriate prefix and a dash to each category.

so it needs to look like 600-analyzer

Did you put analyzer....600 in S2
autoclave.....601 in S3
where does the T20 come in at
Can the T20 be S19 instead in the formula

=VLOOKUP(A2,$S$2:T$20,2,0)&"-"&A2

this is what I put in but get 0 where Analyzer is

I need to add column
first , sorry.

trying to add column now and then I think it will work. When I add a column is puts everthing in B to Column C is that correct

After I get this step done , I have to change data set to an Excel Table and display top 20 items

Thank You for all your help. I will be working out more as the day goes.

Really saved the day!!!
