Default ConcantenatingTwo Labels into One

I have a spreadsheet with 3 column: First Name, Last Name
and Full Name.
Is there some type of formula I can put into the Full Name
cell that will concantenate the values in the Last and
First Name cols such as this: "Last Name, First Name"?

Thank you

Sure -

=B1&", "&A1

i.e. =lastname&", "&firstname

You can also use the concatenate worksheet function,

=CONCATENATE(B1,", ",A1)

Bob

In C1 enter =B1 & ", " & A1

Will return LastName, FirstName

Try =A1 & " " & B1 -- assuming first name is in A1 and last name is in B1.

Bob,

You can either use the Concatenate function or you can use the shortcut.

Assume First name is in A1 and Last name is in B1.

Concatenate function
=============

=CONCATENATE(B1,", ",A1)

Shortcut
======

=B1&", "&A1

Either one will generate you the same result.

I hope this helps.

Sincerly,
Rekoj
