Is there a formula for....
One way would be to use Data/ Text to Columns with space x space as
delimiter. Set the column format to skip for the x columns, and to text for
the 3 separate components.
In some respects it would be better to leave the components separate, but if
you want to glue back together in the format you suggest, use
=A1&"""L x "&B1&"""W x "&C1&"""H"
