I want to merge two columns
Hi, My problem is that I have two colums of data in a worksheet, the first is
a prefix to the part number i.e. AB The second is a part number i.e. 123456789 My list is 8800 numbers long and I want a quick way to merge these comuns together but keep the rows. Thankyou in advance, Andrew P.S. don't know if it's important but running XP Pro SP2 and Office 2003 |

Hi, Andrew. Here ya go:
--click the column letter to the RIGHT of your 2 columns and hit Insert--Column. --select the new blank column and make sure it's formatted as General --in the new blank column, probably the 2nd row if you have headings, type =A2&B2 Copy down using the fill handle: http://www.officearticles.com/excel/...soft_excel.htm Then, with all the cells STILL selected, hit Copy. Hit Edit--Paste Special, choose Values, OK. Then delete your original columns. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Andrew" wrote in message ...
