Concatenate and character size
I am using this formula to evenly space information across a cell (label).
Essentially, I would like Cell B4 to appear on the Left and Cell B3 apears on the Right in the cell with the formula. B4 holds names while B3 holds small numbers or combination of numbers 3,4,5. Names, of course can be short to very long. The formula works, but I guess because of the different physical size of the letters(both W and , count as 1), I am not getting the desire result. Is there some way to allow for the different sizes of letters? Thanks =CONCATENATE(LEFT(($B$4&IF(OR($E$3=TRUE,$F$3=TRUE) ,(", "&$C$6),"")),(LEN(($B$4&IF(OR($E$3=TRUE,$F$3=TRUE) ,(", "&$C$6),"")))))&(REPT(CHAR(32),(60-(LEN($B$4))-(IF(OR($E$3=TRUE,$F$3=TRUE),11,0)))))&("Tract "&$B$3)) -- Scafidel Lafayette, Louisiana |

hi
it is possible to have multiply formats in a cell such as multiple font sizes and colors but unfortunely, this does not apply to number or formulas. real text only. regards FSt1 "Scafidel" wrote: I am using this formula to evenly space information across a cell (label).

Construct your two strings so that within each string, the regular space is replaced with the nbsp or CHAR(160), but there remains a true space between the phrase that you want left justified, and the one you want right-justified. Given your formula, something like the following might work: =CONCATENATE(LEFT((SUBSTITUTE($B$4," ",CHAR(160)) &IF(OR($E$3=TRUE,$F$3=TRUE),(", "&$C$6),"")), (LEN(($B$4&IF(OR($E$3=TRUE,$F$3=TRUE),(", "&$C$6),""))))) &("Tract"&CHAR(160) & $B$3)) --ron |

Thanks, Ron. That did it. I had to massage it a bit, but it looks good.
