Default I can't get my concatenate formula results to show

When I go to Insert, Funciton, chose concatenate, then the cells I want to
merge, I can see the correct results, but once I hit OK and the wizard closes
I can only see the formula =concatenate(A2,B2) - I have tried the CTRL + ` to
swith between views but no luck

It sounds like the cell was formatted to Text before you entered
the formula. Change the format to General and press F2 then
Enter.

What you are doing should work but have you tried just using the ampersand
(&) eg =A2&B2. I find this a lot easier and more flexible.
