can i combine text from separate cells into a single cell
Yes, Enter as follows: A1: My Name is B1: Paul C1: Gill in an empty cell, say D1 enter =A1 & " " & B1 & " " & C1 the & character acts as a concatenator of the cells A1, B1 and C1.

=concatenate(a1,b1,c1,...)
or =a1 & b1 & c1 & ... where a1, b1 and c1 are the cells containing the statements you want to combine -- Rich "Paul Gill" wrote: Is it possible in excell where a series of statements contained in seperate cells can be combined in another cell to create one complete statement. -- Paul |

can i combine text from seperate cells into a sinle cell
Thankyou this worked perfectly however the completed text is at the end of
the spreadsheet and so i cannot see it. In the entry box it is just displaying the formula rather than the completed text which is there as if i copy and paste special the value it is displayed. Can i get the text to display in the entry bar at the top -- Paul "badger_rich" wrote: =concatenate(a1,b1,c1,...) or =a1 & b1 & c1 & ... where a1, b1 and c1 are the cells containing the statements you want to combine -- Rich "Paul Gill" wrote: Is it possible in excell where a series of statements contained in seperate cells can be combined in another cell to create one complete statement. -- Paul |

To see the concatenated text in the Formula Bar you must change the formula to a
value. CopyPaste SpecialValueOKEsc. Note: this wipes the formula but I think that's what you want. Or enter the formula in an empty cell near the top of your sheet. Where you see the results of a formula is at the cell in which you entered that formula, not at the source cells. Your choice of where to enter it.
