How do I combine two EXCEL columns?
I have an EXCEL 2003 worksheet containing addresses. The street address
information is in two columns. For instance, for the address 123 Main Street, the worksheet has one column containing "123" and another column containing "Main St." How do I combine the two columns so that I have a new column that contains "123 Main Street"? I will appreciate advice. |

How do I combine two EXCEL columns?
Assume the house number is in column A and the street name in column B
- enter this formula in column C: =A1 & " " & B1 and copy down for as many items as you have in columns A and B. Fix the values by highlighting column C then <copy and Edit | Paste Special | Values (check), OK and <Esc. You could now delete the original columns A and B. Hope this helps. Pete Hope this helps.

And then when you want to sort by street, you can break it into two columns
again using DataText to Columns. My advice..............leave it two columns. Your lfe will be easier down the road.

How do I combine two EXCEL columns?
Thank you. I used:
=A1&""&B1 However, I am getting "123Main St." instead of what I want, which is "123 Main St." How do I change the forumula to insert a space between "123" and "Main"?

If you'd used the formula you were given by Pete you would have been OK.
You need the space between the quote marks. =A1&" "&B1 not =A1&""&B1 -- David Biddulph "Robert Judge" wrote in message ... Thank you.
