Copying concatenate not returning correct cell information
Are you sure calculation is automatic?

I am using the concatenate to write multiple SQL insert statements
(sometimes
hundreds or thousands).
=CONCATENATE("insert into #gs_entity_ad(entity_id, ad_id) values(",B1,",
3073761)")
The B column of my document contains all of the unique IDs. Normally,
when
I do the copying (usually I double-click on the square in the bottom
right-hand corner of cell A1 and it copies to the end of the document) I
don't have a problem.
In the spreadsheet, I'm seeing this.
In A2
=CONCATENATE("insert into #gs_entity_ad(entity_id, ad_id) values(",B2,",
3073761)")
In A3
=CONCATENATE("insert into #gs_entity_ad(entity_id, ad_id) values(",B3,",
3073761)")
However, when I copy/paste the results into the text doc, where I would
normally see the expected B2 and B3 values, I'm seeing the B1 value.
Any ideas in troubleshooting this are extremely appreciated!

What is the formula you are using? What are the values in B1 and B2?

concat unique
formula numbers
I am using a concatenate formula in column A that uses column B as a
variable. When I copy the formula down the spreadsheet, the formula
reflects
the cell change (from B1 to B2, for example). However, when I
copy/paste the
results of the formula from A2 into a text doc (which should contain
the
number in B2) it is retaining the number from B1.
How do I rectify this?
