You need to use the "=" for the formula to work. If you still have a problem please just send me a message. Cheers! Ana Hi Ducky,

In your post you don’t use the “=” (equal) before “concatenate.” You need to use the “=” for the formula to work.

If you still have a problem please just send me a message.

Cheers!

Ana

I've always found it frustrating to resort to the Help function in Excel (or anything MS) as it rarely results in useful answers. Thanks Bryan.

I use Excel quite a bit and a year or so ago I found a PODCAST put out by <a href="http://www.mrexcel.com/" rel="nofollow">Mr. Excel (Bill Jelen)</a> where he shows you a 2-minute video tip every day. I always thought it was cool. You can subscribe to it in Itunes. (I'm not associated with him...just thought it was cool) Cool tip.
