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

Type a value in one cell (EX:B4 CELL). For temporary use this formula in other cell (once done delete it). =CONCAT(XY,B4) . click and drag till the value you need. Copy the whole column and right click paste only values (second option).

I tried and it's working as expected.
