yeah, my automatic calculation thing was on but for some reason, i tried to
try the formula again and it suddenly worked.
no idea why or how but still very happy about it.
thanks for all the advice,

I have been using the concatenate function for a while now but recently it
just stopped working. these are numerical columns. i go to insert- Function-
concatenate, put in the cell #'s i want in the correct box and press enter.
all works according to plan.
however once i try to have the data extend down the column, it just shows me
the data from the first box on every box below it! What usually works is just
doing copy of the original cell and highlighting down. all the rest of the
data just appears.
it's not working and i have a deadline.
help me please!
