Unable to copy the merged cell to the rest of the column
Using the formula =CONCATENATE(B369,": ",C369) in cell D369, I'm able to
merge the text in the referenced cells. However, using the instruction provided in Excel help and the demo video on Excel support site I'm unable to extend the concetenation to the remainder of the column. All that appears in the succeding cells is the same text as the originally merged cell. Interestingly if one checks the formulas in the newly propagated cells its is =CONCATENATE(B370,": ",C370); =CONCATENATE(B371,": ",C371); =CONCATENATE(B372,": ",C372); etc. but the text is the same as the orginal text that was expanded to the remainder of the column. I'm running Excel 2003 with ALL updates installed on the final release of Vista. I've also duplicated the problem on another installation of Excel running on XP with ALL updates. Redrx |

Try choosing Tools/Options/Calculation and select Automatic.

It sounds like calculation is set to manual. Check that calculation is set
to AUTOMATIC. ToolsOptionsCalculation Another way to write your formula: =B369&": "&C369 Biff "redrxturbo" wrote in message ...
