Cocatenation

How do you do a cocatenation?

RE: Cocatenation

Hi Chloe

Thankyou for your question

Cocatenation is a function that can be used to join a text string or variable to another text string or variable.

For example if you had a person's first name in cell A1 and their surname in cell A2 and you wanted to create a formula that would join the two together, with a space in between; then in the required cell you would type the following.

A1&" "&A2

The & symbol is the cocatenation function and in this instance joins the contents of A1 to a white space and then joins that to the contents of cell A2

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
