    Formula To Add Spaces Until Character Count Is 10

    Hi, I'm looking for a formula that will add the space character to a cell's value until the total character count of the return value is 10, then it needs to append the contents of another cell to its value.

    Ex.

    Column A:
    ABC
    AB
    ABCDE

    Column B:
    RED
    BLUE
    GREEN

    Column C (result):
    ABC RED
    AB BLUE
    ABCDE GREEN

    It's a little hard to tell but in the result column row 1 has 7 spaces, row 2 has 8 spaces, and row 3 has 5 spaces. Ideas?
