I have a column of a few thousand numbers I need to convert to text. Can I code the following steps: [F2], [Home], ', [Enter] or is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance

1. Press the Edit key
2. Press the Home key
3. Insert a label prefix
4. Press Enter
I would need to do this for a few thousand rows.
You could use the formula =TEXT(A1,"0") where the second parameter is format - e.g. 1 decimal place =TEXT(A1,"0.0") - copy down the formula. Are they in a continuous range i.e. One column, multiple columns - if using a formula and copying the formula is no good then
Assuming the values are in Column A only otherwise would need to offset to past last column of dataPlease Login or Register to view this content.
Hope this helps

I don't see what that has to do with converting numbers to text. Sorry, I guess this is a multipart question? Usually, 2 different problems means 2 different threads so that their topics are findable by others.
Why do you need to convert numbers to text
Thanks Smuzoen. It worked perfectly.
Excellent - make sure you change the thread to SOLVED
