Add prefix to each row in Google Sheets
Add prefix to each row in Google Sheets:To add a prefix to each row in Google Sheets using Google Apps Script, first, open the Apps Script editor from the "Extensions" menu. Then, create a custom function that fetches the active sheet, retrieves data, and loops through each row, adding the desired prefix. After saving the script, a custom menu will appear in your sheet. Click on it and select the script. The script will then run, appending the prefix to each row in the specified column. This method is efficient for automating the process or dealing with extensive data sets in Google Sheets.
