    Adding specific text to cells based on another cells data criteria

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to populate 4 columns based on the data from another column.

    In the sample worksheet i wish to populate rows 3-10, columns AR-AU to look like AR2-AU2

    EG. To populate AR3, data would need to be extracted from D3 and the text '+/ added to the beginning and -01.jpg added to the end
    AS3 data would only have / added to the beginning and -01.jpg added to the end
    AT3 would be the same as AS3
    But AU3 would have 4 versions of the same result numbered sequentially 01-04 separated by a semi colon and a space.

    I hope this makes sense.

    The final results are used to provide images for my online store that are stored on my server.

    I realise this might be asking a lot but if anyone can help with this issue it would be extremely appreciated

    regards
    John

    Re: Adding specific text to cells based on another cells data criteria

    John, that is absolutely perfect. Removed a full stop on AS row and added a space after the semi colon and bang.

    We get huge data sheets of new products and I was actually spending up to 2 hrs a day doing find and replace to get that job done.

    Thank you very very much
