Default Combining Cells

Hello, I have a list of duplicates with a comments field. I have identified
the duplicates by sorting and then using the match function. What I need to
do is take the comments field from each duplicate and combine them into one.
Any suggestions?

Default Combining Cells

you could try something like

if your data is say A1 AND B1

Put in cell C1 = a1&" "&b1

or if you don't want a space

= a1&b1

regards
Pete

I think you mean you want to merge the 2 cells into 1. I forgot th
exact code, but the easy wat to do it is to use "macro - record"
merge 2 cells into 1, then stop the macro. Then view the code for th
macro, cut and paste, and viola!
