Excel should support a proper inverse to "Text to columns"
The following sequence of steps gets tricky at step 3:
1) Split Text into columns 2) Perform edits on text 3) Merge Text into a single column again Currently it can only be done with 1) a macro, or 2) a temporary column and the use of concatenate, which gets tedious and error-prone if many columns are involved. (concatenate doesn't support cell ranges, for one thing). In priniple, it seems like this kind of thing ("inverse of") should be built into excel. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
