Solution

  • See if this works for you.

    • All your data is in column A (beginning at row 1).
    • In column B, row 1, enter =A1&","
    • This will make cell B1 equal A1 with a comma appended.
    • Now select cell B1 and drag from the bottom right of cell down through all your rows (this copies the formula and uses the corresponding column A value.)
    • Select the newly appended data, copy it and paste it where you need using Paste -> By Value

    That's It!
