Hey greg,

if you would like to do the exact opposite to what Michelle has described (e. g. combine the stuff of cells a4 to d4 in cell e4) you can concatenate them using the worksheet function concatenate or the appropriate concatenator (does this word exist?? )

Use the following formula in cell E4:
=concatenate(a4,b4,c4,d4)
or alternatively
=a4&b4&c4&d4
hope that helps

Greg – I’m sure it can be done. I’m more of a visual person. Will send you an email to get more details.

Rowan – I have many more Excel videos I want to do. It’s just a matter of setting aside the time to do them. So happy you found it useful and that it also will help you become more efficient.

Thanks for sahring this video. Excel has so many features which people don’t know about. Keep sharing stuff like this if you can, it’s really helpful for people like me who use Excel on a regular basis!

Andy – thanks for both the comment and the Facebook suggestion – I’ll hop on over there! It’s my intent to get up to two posts per week on Excel (and probably eventually Word). Excel is really my favorite of the two!
