Add/Replicate Text In Cell Entry

[Guest]

I have something like this "5314RY89" entered in the first row in column B.
It will not be the same number in every cell. There are about 250 rows so
far. I need to add "WONO" at the beginning of each entry so it will show
"WONO5314RY89"

How can I replicate/add the WONO without doing each cell individually.

One way, in say, C1, copied down:
=IF(TRIM(B1)="","","WONO"&TRIM(B1))

I might be doing something wrong. I keep getting a circular reference when
try the formula.

Here is an example of what I have. I want to put WONO in front of the rest
w/o having to type it in one at at time:

B
WONO5314RY89
5323RY90
5214RY64
5300RY67

As mentioned (the source data assumed in B1 down), put the formula in an
adjacent cell, say C1, then copy down. Then copy col C and do a paste
special > values to overwrite col B. Then delete/clear col C.
