Mergin cells
How do I merge two cells where I have the first name and surname and want to make it into one cell so the whole name is in the box
RE: Mergin cells
Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for your question regarding combining data from two cells into one cell.
This is done using the function CONCATENATE. An example of this would be as follows:
=CONCATENATE(A2," ",B2) where A2 contains the first name and B2 contains the last name. The ," ", creates the space between the names.
After completing the above then select all cells with the formula, copy and paste values. This will remove the formula and clean up the data.
I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.
If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?
Have a great day.
Regards,
Rodney

Excel tip:Return to the active cell after scrollingWhen I scroll a long way down the screen from a selected cell, I can return to that cell with the Ctrl+Back Space shortcut. The active cell now appears in roughly the middle of the screen. |
