Default Merging Cells

single cell, comma delimited. [and preferably with a space as well, after
each comma]. This is for putting the data into a postcode lokup database for
determining shipping costs. About 2900 codes are to be split over 9 cells.

Hi David,

I'm not sure I understand your problem.
Why do you want to merge the cells before you copy them?

Surely you can just highlight the entire column right click on it
and select copy, then open your new sheet right click in A1
and select paste.

Or am I missing something here?

When you say a postcode lookup database. What type of database?
Most database program support importing of various file types.
As one other poster suggested, there must be a better way.
With more info someone here might be able to suggest one.
