    Combine Text with Numbers with no spacing

    Hi All,
    this probably simple, but im stuck here.

    What i want to do is just to combine eg, A 12345 to A12345, (eliminate spacing to & from single cell).

    Thank-You very much

    Select the column and use Find & Replace to replace spaces with nothing.

    Otherwise, if no helper column is allowed, it will have to be VBA.

    Hi AliGW,
    That was fast , actually i am aware for the replace, perhaps to rephrase my question, is there a formula for doing this?

    Thank-You very much

    Hi again, AliGW,

    I see... I will just use the replace instead.
    will mark Solved for this thread.

    Thank-You very much

    Hi there,
    Assuming your cell with the' a 124' is in C#, a formula to remove spaces: =SUBSTITUTE(C3," ","") = 'a123'

    you can use a formula but the result will be in another cell

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

    Re: Combine Text with Numbers with no spacing

    But you said this:

    eliminate spacing to & from single cell
    So I assumed you didn't want a formula in an adjacent column. Perhaps try to be a bit clearer next time.
