Text function and combining columns

how do i combine two columns into one?

RE: text function

Hi Anna, Thank you for your question, to undertake this action you will need to use the Concatentate function. Assuming that you wished to combine data from cell B4 and C4 you can use the following function in a new cell (ie A4) =CONCATENATE(B4," ",C4), note the " " space between the two cell references, this is necessary to separate the two text items.

Excel tip:

New Normal Worksheet

Do you want all your worksheets to confirm to a certain look? Then change the Defaults!!!
1. Press Shift+F11 to create a new worksheet
2. Press Ctrl+A to select (higlight) all cells, Press Ctrl+1, make any formatting changes then click OK.
3. Press F12 (Function 12 key) click in the Save As Type, drop down, then select Template (*.xlt)
4. Click in the Save in drop-down, then find the folder; c:_program files_microsoft office_office_start. (For the underscores shown use backslash)
Name your templete sheet.xlt, then press Enter.
Sheet.xlt is used when you insert a new worksheet (Shift+F11)

Note: These changes are permanent changes on your PC.
