Assuming names are not all in C2 or D2 but rather in columns C and D

In E2 enter =D2 & " " & C2

Copy down.

If all in one cell, how are they separated?

Format the cells as General (or anything but Text).

Then reenter the top formula and drag down again.

Hi Russell, this works fine
however, a space is needed in the formula

CarrickMr & Mrs F. - should be Carrick Mr & Mrs F.
How would I fix that please ?

How did it not work?

If you got the same results, then try it again. I'd guess you missed a step.

Or...

You may be looking at formulas.
Tools|Options|view tab|uncheck formulas (in xl2003 menus)

Explain each step you've tried -- in great detail.

Did you reformat the cell to General?
Did you reenter the formula?
Did you copy the formula down using the autofill handle?
