    insert text in front of other text data already in a column.

    Hi!

    I have a column of url links that are incomplete, I want to insert

    https://domainname.com/ in front of each url link in the column. (each cell in the column needs that put in front of it with no spaces.

    the end result would be...

    https://domainname.com/username-item-sku1
    https://domainname.com/username-item-sku2
    https://domainname.com/username-item-sku3
    https://domainname.com/username-item-sku4

    etc...

    whats the best way to do this?

    kind regards,

    Assuming those link strings are in column A starting at A2, put this in B2 and copy down:

    =HYPERLINK("https://domainname.com/"&A2, "Link")
    or
    =HYPERLINK("https://domainname.com/"&A2)
