Default Merging Columns

Our formulas were basically the same.

Mine had a couple of extra spaces for clarity only.

=A1 & " " & B1

Roger left them out.

=A1&" "&B1

No difference in function.

Gord, I could be wrong, but I believe the reason Roger's formula didn't work
for me is because of the spacing. Your formula worked perfectly fine. I do
appreciate the help of both Roger and yourself. You saved me countless hours
of hellish copy & pasting monotony...

In C1 enter =A1 & " " & B1

Double-click on fill handle of C1 to copy down.

I am trying to 'make one' a number of columns...
Essentially I have several thousand rows of data that I need to clean up...
What I would like to accomplish is Column A + B = AB

Column A Data: I need this one first
Column B Data: and this one comes right behind with a space for proper grammer
To equal one column: I need this one first and this one comes right behind
with a space for proper grammer.

Thanks in advance for any input!
