    How to add prefix and suffix to a cell?

    I need to add prefix and suffix to my list. How do I do that?

    For example,

    Channel should become [Channel].

    ABCD should become [ABCD]


    Can anyone suggest a simple way to do the same? Much appreciated. Thanks.

    You could probably create a custom format, or you could use a formula

    ="[" & A1 & "]"

    As Stephen pointed out a Custom Format may well suffice: "["@"]"

    (this leaves the underlying value as entered, ie ABCD remains though it appears and prints as [ABCD])
