Concatenate error
I have 4 columns I want to combine with the concatenate function. Column 1
has either 3,4 or 5 characters. When I use the function, it works fine - except there are spaces after the characters in column 1. There are no extra spaces that show up from columns 2,3 or 4. How do I set column 1 to only take the characters that are there over to the concatenated function. I don't want any extra spaces. |

Concatenate error
Assuming your cells are A1, B1, C1 and D1 then in A2:
=TRIM(A1)&TRIM(B1)&TRIM(C1)&TRIM(D1) Tyro "Susie" wrote in message ... I have 4 columns I want to combine with the concatenate function. Column 1 has either 3,4 or 5 characters.

Concatenate error
I had never heard of the 'Trim' command. Thanks. I'll give it a try.
