Concatenate Will Only Work for the Cell
 

I am trying to concatenate a column with the string "M0101" and the value of
the previous column. I have try several methods such as manually entering the
formula (="M0101"&A3) and also using the concatenate function. However it
will only work for the first cell. When I copy the formula to the remaining
cells in the row. I get the result of the first cell. Please help.


Thanks,
Myron Fleming

The fact that the formula does something, but seems to be stuck, is an
indaction that perhaps Calculation is not Automatic. Make su

Tools Options Calculation automatic is checked.

Make sure that you have calculation set to automatic.

In xl2003 menus:
tools|options|calculation tab|check automatic
