merging columns

[Todd Hudson]

I am trying to import data from Excel into QB 2006 Premier. Data is in
Excel.

I store the customer names in two different columns. Example: 1st name is
column a, last name is column b, However Quickbooks wants the names in one
field in some columns like the Name Contains, Contains fields. Is there a
way to get Excel to join both columns? If so how?

And how to I then get it to do the above, but last name, first name?

Same for getting City, State Zip Country from 4 different columns into one
column?

Finally, same thing with credit card expiration date? I have the date stored
as 04/08. How Can I get Excel to move the 04 to one column and 08 to
another?

Thanks very much in advance.

try this idea
=b1&", "&a1

=c1&" "&d1& " "&e1& " "&d1
or for the date if in e
=c1&" "&d1& " "&e1& " "&d1 & " "&left(e1,2") & " "& right(e1,2)
