How to merge info
My spreadsheet has two description columns. I want to merge column B & C
together without loosing any data. If I merge B & C together, I loose the data in C. Is there any quick way to get this data to merge without typing each cell? B C PLATE 3/16 CLEAR 36X36 PLATE 3/16 CLEAR 36X38 Desired result: B PLATE 3/16 CLEAR 36X36 Thanks GRK |

Gaurav,
The info you provided is great and will eliminate many hours of data input. One more question. In following your advice, the results are that the two cells merged, but I need a space between the two cells. This is how the info is merging together. PLATE 3/16 CLEAR36X36 Notice there is no space between the word CLEAR and 36X36 How do I get the space between the two cells?

It should be adding a space between 2 cells. If you look at the formula, it
says B1&" "&D1. there is a space between the " and ". if you are typing the formula yourself make sure to have space there. "GRK" wrote in message ...
