Default Concatenate en masse?

If I have columns A, B, and C, can I concatenate all to one column?
I'm trying to use this method as a way of mass tagging for xml.

Column A = <PartNumber
Column B = <123456-001
Column C = </PartNumber

The one-column result I'm after would be:
<PartNumber123456-001</PartNumber

=A1&B1&C1

& is essentially the same thing as using the concatenate formula, just easier.

Take a closer look at the final desired string.

Even though it doesn't give you the result you posted, or was that result
missing the parenthesis by mistake?
