Text with repeating trailing spaces
I need to create a text string from several different values that I have
calculated, however I need the resulting string to be fixed width (ie. the first entry needs to be inserted followed by spaces to total 30 characters). I know it can be done as I did this previously, but forget how. Can anybody help? |

Text with repeating trailing spaces
=F5&REPT(" ",30-(LEN(F5)))
You haven't said what to do with remaining "several values" in the string but just keep '&'ing Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 11:28:01 -0700, briancrosier wrote: I need to create a text string from several different values that I have calculated, however I need the resulting string to be fixed width (ie. the first entry needs to be inserted followed by spaces to total 30 characters).

Text with repeating trailing spaces
=left(a1&rept(" ",30),30)
Will truncate/pad the string in A1 at 30 characters. briancrosier wrote: I need to create a text string from several different values that I have calculated, however I need the resulting string to be fixed width (ie. the first entry needs to be inserted followed by spaces to total 30 characters).

Thnaks every body, it was the REPT function that I had forgotten.
