Hi All

I'm have a problem combining two columns into one. The code below does what I want

Sheets("Calculations").Range("K2") = Sheets("Calculations").Range("J2").Value & Sheets("Calculations").Range("I2").Text

J2 contains a value and I2 contains the time and works as in it displays:- Commences: 07:31 which is what i want to achieve.

How do i convert the below to make it put the correct values in all the rows ie: K3=J3 & J4.........

Sheets("Calculations").Range("K2:K" & LastRow2) = Sheets("Calculations").Range("J2").Value & Sheets("Calculations").Range("I2").Text (obviously this puts the J2 and I2 values in every row)

I have tried doing it with formula, the problem is that it changes back to time format as a number and I have tried everything i know to sort this out without any luck.

Any help would be appreciated

cheers

Paul

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand

Hi, if you are still interested in pursuing a formula solution - you could try like this:


Excel 2013/2016
IJK
207:31Commences:Commences:07:31
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
K2=J2&TEXT(I2,"hh:mm")

How about
Code:
Sub paulsolar()
   With Range("K2:K10")
      .Formula = "=j2&text(i2,""hh:mm"")"
      .Value = .Value
   End With
End Sub

As you've decided to ignore me (as we posted at the same time) all I can say is

Come on Fiji :nya: :rofl:

I think that's pushing it a bit, but maybe
Come on you Reds
