    auto fill data after manual input of other data in same cell

    I have to manually enter a series of letters and numbers to identify some stuff at work, the first 6 digits are always the same and the last four are unique. My question is, is there a way for me to only enter the last four unique digits and have excel automatically fill in the first 6?

    Are you entering in the same column in all cases?

    about 90% of the time, yes

    instead of typing
    BDBD112233

    I want to be able to type
    2233

    and have excel automatically change it to
    BDBD112233

    when i hit enter or just exit the cell

    or even just have it start entering data at a specific point without me having to double click and type at the end of the sequence

    Format the cell into "BDBD11"0000

    (it is the last option in the cellformatting).

    after that type your 4 digits and you will see the expected result.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
