Add Text to Beginning and/or End of Selected Cells...

This tool lets you quickly add text to the beginning, end, or both sides of the content in each selected cell.
It's ideal for adding prefixes, suffixes, labels, or wrapping values with characters such as quotes or parentheses. You can also use it to build formulas around the existing cell contents.
You can choose to:
  • Add a value at the beginning of each cell (prefix)
  • Add a value at the end of each cell (suffix)
  • Use the cell's value, formula, or displayed (formatted) value
  • Include or skip hidden cells
  • Include or skip empty cells
    An example preview shows how the result will look.
    The "Reset" button clears the prefix and suffix input fields and restores the other options to their default values.
    The tool remembers the last 100 values you used to insert before or after, so you can quickly reuse them.
