How do I combine the contents of two columns?

[Robert Judge]

I have two columns in Excel 2003 containing address information:

Column 1 Column 2
123 Main Street

How can I combine these into a new column that will state "123 Main St."?

I will appreciate advice.

 

[muddan madhu]

use CONCATENATE function
or
= A1&" "&B1

 

[Don Guillett]

Several ways:
1. in col 3 =a2 & " " & b2. Then copy/paste as values and delete columns no
longer needed
or
2.

for each in range("a2:a22")
c.value=c and " " & c.offset(1)
next

If "123" is in A2 and "Main Street" is in B2, then in another column enter
=A2&" "&B2

If you want St. instead of Street, select column, then use Edit >> Replace
to change it.

Hope this helps,

Hutch

Hi,

With a choice between
=A1&" "&B1
and
=CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)
I would opt for the first one ontil Microsoft allows us to use it like this:
=CONCATENATE(A1:B1)
