I have two columns with two values.. I want to append some text to the left of all the cells of Column A and concatenate to the right of all the cells of Column B. Basically I'm trying to avoid having to type in a whole bunch of sql updates. so for example if i have an excel with ID Employee Name 135 Rasputin 76 Bush I want to generate something like this <pre><code>UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET ID = '135', WHERE employee_name= 'RASPUTIN' UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET ID = '76', WHERE employee_name= 'BUSH' </code></pre> So perhaps a solution of appending text to the cells and then merging the rows? I prefer a built in function as I'm not familiar with VBA thanks! PS crossposted on superuser but no response yet.

1. COI don't understand your question. What does "if I have an excel with" mean? And why do you want to update your excel with the existing values?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
