    Adding text from three cells into a separate cell

    Hi,

    I wonder if it is possible to do the following:

    1. I am using EXCEL to collate columns of data and then compose a combination of the data in a seaparate column.
    2. I have rows of reference codes in column A and rows of another reference code in column B.
    3. I would like to set up a new code in colummn C that will read as: BOC_"code from column A"_"Code from coumn B". BOC is the name of a group that will be represented in column C

    CodeA CodeB Code BOC
    2341 8745 BOC_2341_8745
    3453 3478
    2312 5646
    5412 6756

    How do I use a formula or macro to allow Column c to be filled in?

    Thanks

    Raurie
