I wish to combine text "ABCD" from first cell with "123" from other cell
and "XYZ" from third cell to display as "ABCD 000123; XYZ"
Can somebody help?

=A1&" "&TEXT(B1,"0000")&" "&C1

Thanks for the reply Paul. But the problem is
I used CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1,"; ",C1) Where B1 is formatted as"000000"
the problem is that the result is ABCD 123; XYZ Where as is need it to be
ABCD 000123; XYZ.( here 123 can be any 6 digit number with preceeding
zeroes)

Sorry mac.............

Some musta got lost in the translation............
=A1&" "&TEXT(B1,"000000")&"; "&C1
