Thanks for your help your directions work wonderfully. However, how do I
combine the two columns with all their different content? I can't go one
row at a time because I have thousands to do? Can you please help again!!!
Two whole columns combined into one

ok.. if you are looking at cells B2 and C2, and want them in D2:

=B2&C2

will combine the two cells together.

Presumably, you want a space between the entered values, thus:

=B2&" "&C2

Unless your B2 or C2 cell actually has a #VALUE in it, you should never get
a #Value during a concatenate.

Make sure you're using shift 7 for the &.....

=B2&" "&C2 gives you

8305 Route 53

copy to bottom, past special/values if you want to get rid of B and C when
done.

Example: Column B contains "8305" and Column C contains "Route 53". How
can I combine the street number in Column B with the Street name in Column C
and place the results in Column D?

Text and Column obviously does no work. Have thousands of these to do.

Thank you in advance am really up against it. Using 2004 on a MAC.
