    Question Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    Hi,

    I need help to turn a list of keywords, example:

    Games
    network
    website
    shock
    toys

    Into such a list:
    Games
    networkk
    websitee
    shockk
    toyss

    Just basically double the end of the word, I was not sure if this is even possible, but this far i have not come across anything in excel not possible
    Please help if you can

    Assuming your date is in column A row 2 enter this formula in B2 and fill down the length of your data:

    This takes the value in A2 and appends the last character extracted using the RIGHT function. The & joins the value of A2 with the value of the RIGHT function.

    Re: Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    I am sorry, But i think im to much of a Noob on excel to understand it, This is where i am, as you can see i have started doing it manually, but im afraid it would take a while since the list is over 5k words long http://prntscr.com/7qavmx

    Re: Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    Just enter one of the formulas into B1
    and copy it down the column

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    I'm not sure what is used where you are located. You may have to use semicolons ; instead of commas , in formulae.

    Re: Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    Looks like you've entered the formula incorrectly.

    Select B1
    Type
    =A1&RIGHT(A1)

    B1 should now say
    webb
    If it says anything else like NAME then youve entered it incorrectly.

    Once it says webb
    copy and paste it down the column as described above

    Here is modified formula:

    change number 2 (in red) to desired number of repeats.

    =A1&REPT(RIGHT(A1),2)

    Rept means repeat which in German is according to Google translate: Wiederholung

    If you could upload an example workbook right to this forum, we could modify it right in the workbook. Then when you download it, it would revert back to German (Go Advanced>Manage Attachments)

    Re: Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    Okay, in Worksheet2, just simply
    =A1&RIGHT(A1) (I assume by 2 repeating characters, there's the one that's already there and a new one)

    In Worksheet
    =A1& REPT(A1),2)
    You can copy the new column back over the old with Paste Special>Values to remove the formulas.
    Questions?

    Re: Add the same letter as the ending of the word twice at the end of a keyword list

    These are the formulae used on Tabelle2 to Tabelle4. Enter in A1 of each worksheet and fill down. I think that I may have given you more than you wanted but I am a little confused by the way you stated the problem.
