How to merge info
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?

How to merge info
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 ...
