I am trying to merge 3 columns into one to put on a mailing label. I am
trying to concantinate and my formula is =("A2,&B2" ",&C2")

Only the Middle field does not already have an empty character at the end of
the cell so they don't need a blank space in between. I want my results to
be: To the ________ Family

Problem: I haven't tried this since upgrading to Office 2007 and I get the
formula in the cell but not the results? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You can't, you can concatenate 2 cells into one by using a formula and
ampersand

=A1&" "&B1


however stay away from merging cells, always cause more problems than what
it's worth and layout wise you can get very close without using it. I have
never seen a power user using merging

I'm highlighting two cells in the same row, hitting format cells, alignment,
merge cells and I'm getting the error message, "The selection contains
multiple data values. Merging into one cell will keep the upper-left most
data only." I want to be able to make the two seperate cells one without
deleting anything and without having to cut and paste.
