Hello,

I had someone ask me a question and I don't know the answer but hoped one of
you might. On a spreadsheet the user has three separate columns one for
"First Name", one for "Middle Initial" and one for "Last name". They want to
have all three field or first name, middle initial and last name all in one
field. Is there a way to do this? I tried to higlight and copy into one cell
and didn't and that is my best shot. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!!!

For example if those 3 fields are in column A, B, C

In column D write the formula

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

And then just copy and paste that formula down to wherever you want it
