Default Make a cell with a list of values (#s, text) from other cells

I am trying to make a label from an Excel file. The content for one of the
cells to be printed is found in other cells on a different worksheet of the
same file.

How do you automatically put the values (#s and text) from multiple cells as
a list into one cell (the one to be printed)?

Try the formula

=Sheet2!A1 & " " & Sheet3!A1

OR

=Sheet2!A1 & char(10) & Sheet3!A1
'Apply wraptext to this cell to list down the values in separate lines..

If this post helps click Yes

And if you need a special format (fixed decimals, leading 0's, times or date or
money or...):

=text(a1,"00.000")&text(b1,"hh:mm:ss")&text(c1,"mm/dd/yyyy")

But if you're making labels to print, you may want to use excel as your database
and MSWord to do the work.

Saved from a previous post:

Lots of times, it's easier to use MSWord for printing and Excel (or some other
database application) as the source.

You may want to read some tips for mailmerge.
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge

The first is from David McRitchie and the second is by Beth Melton and Dave
Rado.

And if you notice problems with the formatting of data (like zipcodes)...

Debra Dalgleish posted this:

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/as...164951033.aspx

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions he

http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm

about half way down the page.

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.

I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"ddmmyy")
or
=text(a2,"mm:ss.0")
or
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.

(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg.)
