Concatenate

I am using the concactenate function and have now managed to construct a sentence, by entering cell content in columns A - M, placing " " in alternate text_line no to represent spaces.

I now need to insert a new columm to be new column A. How can I refresh concactenate function so that the new A column/cell content is at the beginning of the constructed sentence?

Regards

Amanda

RE: Concactenate

Hi Amanda

If your function looks like this

=CONCATENATE(A4," ",B4," ",C4," ",D4," ",E4," ",F4)

When you insert a new column in Position "A" it is outside the function parameters so the function looks like this

=CONCATENATE(B4," ",C4," ",D4," ",E4," ",F4," ",G4)

The best way to fix this is by clicking the function cell and going into the formula bar and editing the function by adding the A4 and the " " (Space) as seen below

=CONCATENATE(A4," ",B4," ",C4," ",D4," ",E4," ",F4," ",G4)

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Counting Non Number Cells (Text)

If you try to use the COUNT FUNCTION =COUNT(Cell range)with a range of cells with numbers and or containing text fields you wil find that that the text cells will be excluded from the the count. If you want to include them try the the COUNTA FUNCTION =COUNTA(Cell range). This counts both text and number cell values.
