Merging cells

Posted by Brendon Sinclair on April 23, 2001 6:28 PM

Hello

I have a database on an Excel spreadsheet that I need to import into another program.
As the fields don't match I need to merge some cells.

The most important one is that streetnumber/street name are 2 seperate cells.

Is there anyway to merge these cells and put a space between the street number and street name in the newly merged cell?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Brendon

Hi Brendon
Assuming the street number is in A1 and the name is in B1, put "=(A1&" "&B1) in C1 and copy down as far as you need. Then select column C, copy and then use paste special\values (on the edit menu) to column C, then delete columns A and B.
Cheers
Ian
