I hope this is easy...

I want to be able to merge data from 2 columns into one column.

i.e.
Column A = Document Reference        e.g. BD001
Column B = Document Revision           e.g. Rev.1

I want to merge both into a single column i.e.
Column C = Document Reference + Document Version e.g. BD001 Rev.1

Help would be really appreciated as I have about 1000 rows!

Or =A1 & " " & B1

Ampersand is a great word.

I'm thinking of calling my next child "Ampersand", middle name Dot. And when she married Joe Barr, her email address will be

You could call him Dubya.

Then it would be W Orior.

I have 10 sheets in my workbook (Coversheet, sheetA, SheetB, SheetC etc)

I want the contents of a cell CoverSheet to be the value of cell A1 in another sheet. The name of the other sheet is held in cell B2.

I was trying the following formula:

CONCATENATE("='",B1,"'!A1") but it does not work. Any ideas?

=CONCATENATE("=",B1,"!","A1")

It does not recognise the contents of B1 as another worksheet.

I tried putting two single apostophes around B1, but that doesnt work either.

I think you need to use full reference to the worksheet and cell e.g. =CONCATENATE("=",sheeta!B1,"!","A1")

Give me a better example, concatenate only joins 2 or more strings together. I don't think it is what you want to do.

I think you can use the INDIRECT function in excel

So if you wanted the contents of Sheeta!A1 you could use

=INDIRECT("Sheeta!A1")

Or in your case you would want

=INDIRECT(B2&"!A1")
There are no proofs, only opinions.
