Hi all...

I know that you can add two sets of information, I.E. A1 = Ade, B1 = Snow, if you write =A1&B1, it's add the two together in a cell, leaving you with Ade Snow, is there a way of doing the reverse, without using VBA?

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
One way is to use Data > Text to Columns, delimited with Space as the delimiter.

Or a formula

Excel Workbook
ABC
1Ade SnowAdeSnow

Problem....
Tried to do it with a time, I.E. 12:45:00, but it states that it's the wrong data type in A1, any way around this...
