Add common prefix to all cells in Excel

Question

I have a column with some text in each cell.
I want to add some text, for example \"X\", at the start of all cells. For example:

A             B
-----  &         


        

Answer 1

Another way to do this:

1. Put your prefix in one column say column A in excel
2. Put the values to which you want to add prefix in another column say column B in excel
3. In Column C, use this formula;

"C1=A1&B1"

4. Copy all the values in column C and paste it again in the same selection but as values only.
