If in columns A, B and C

in column D

in D1: =A1&B1 & C1

or =A1 & " " & " " & B1 & " " & C1

to give a space between each field

Copy down and then copy/paste special-values

Or look at CONCATENATE function

I would recommend against this.

If you wanted to use this data in another application like Word for a mailmerge
or labels and envelopes you would find that having the data in separate cells is
mandatory.
