Concatenate with a specific number of spaces
 

Hi all

I would like to do this in excel and wonder if its possible

In cell a1 i have 1234 in b2 i have an address in c3 i have 600.00 and in d4
i have 1

I have to have them concatenated but also i need 5 spaces after the first
cell, 4 spaces after the second and 6 spaces after the third when
concatenated (hope this makes sense)

So it would look like this in a1 eventually:

1234 47 Beufort drive 600.00 1

Hope someone might be abke to help as i have 685 lines of this to do :)

Thanks in advance

This should work though I'm not sure if it is the most efficient way.

Create a new column in the column enter this formula

=A1&" "&B2&" "&C3&" "&D4

(Put the proper number of blanks spaces inbetween the " ")

That should give you the result you seek, then copy the formula down.

NOTE: this will only work if the rest of your data follows your first
example, as in the next data is A2,B3,C4,D5 etc.

Derek,

you even know the name of the function required...

=CONCATENATE(A1," ",B2," ",C3," ",D4)

Another way, making it easier to see how many spaces you are using:

=CONCATENATE(A1,REPT(" ",5),B2,REPT(" ",4),C3,REPT(" ",6),D4)

Concatenate with spaces
 

Hello!

If you want to concatenate with spaces, you can:

=A1&" "&B1&" "C1

So in this case, you just added 5 spaces in between A1 and B1, and just 1 space between B1 and C1. same principles apply for all other situations. It just depends on how many spaces you need in between.
