[Guest]

HELLO, I HAVE A 2 CELLS THAT I PUT TOGUETHER BY A FORMULA USING "&" SO THIS
IS WHAT IT LOOK LIKE : =B1&D1 OK THAT IS ALL GOOD BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS THAT
B1 HAS 10 CHARACTER AND D1 HAS 3. OK SAMPLE B1= ABCDEFGHIJ D1=123 OK SO THAT
MEANS I HAVE IN MY CONBINE CELL
A1 =ABCDEFGHIJ123.

OK WHAT I NEED, THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IS FOR A1 TO LOOK LIKE THIS WITH
OUT HAVING TO EDIT B1.

A1=ABCD123

Hi

If you are saying that you only want 4 characters from B1 and three
characters from D1 then
=LEFT(B1,4)&LEFT(D1,3)

Just for your information, switch off your Caps lock. Typing in all
capitals in the newsgroups is considered as shouting.
