What do you mean my "all the colors in the same cell"? How are they
formatted.

Excel we're good at. Mindreading is still a work in progress. Is there a
reason you can't describe how your data is laid out?

Regards,
Fred

I really appreciate your time, but it still does not solve my problem
because
I wanted all the colors in the same cell. I will just have to break them
up
into separate cells. Thank you.

Where is the color number? Where are the number of items for the color?

If it helps, with color number (36) in A1 and the count (3) in A2, the
following will produce "36,,,":
=a1&rept(",",a2)

I am trying to keep track of objects of various colors. Lets say that
the
color white is represented by the number 51 and I have 3 items in the
color
white. I want the cell to read "51,,,". I also want the number 36 to
represent the color black, which I have 6 of (E.G. "36,,,,,,"). Then I
want
this data to be used on another worksheet and show 3 for white and 6
for
black.

Something like this:

If that's not what you're looking for, be more specific about what you
want
to do.

I have excel 1997 and I have been trying to keep track of some data.
I
understand how to use a formula to add numbers, but I want to add
symbols
(to
be exact, commas) not numbers.
