Please do as follows to add one or some characters before each word in a cell in Excel.
1. Select a blank cell, enter formula ="Character"&SUBSTITUTE(Cell Reference," "," Character") into the Formula Bar, and then press the Enter key.
In this case, I need to add word “Kutools-” before each word in cell A2, so I change the formula to ="Kutools-"&SUBSTITUTE(A2," "," Kutools-") in the formula bar. See screenshot:
