how do i add 2 columns to make the answer apper on the 3rd column

some one please help!!!!

I'm not sure if you are providing enough information for an accurate answer, but I'd start out by saying: in C1 =SUM(A1+B1) and drag down column C.

Why the SUM function when =A1+B1 works just as well!

If you want to combine text cells such as first & last name, if first name is
in B4 & last name is in C4, place your cursor in the cell where you want
combined info & use the function =B4&" "&C4 (if you want last name first then
a comma then first name, use =C4&", "&B4. You can combine numerous cells
this way, ie. =B4&" "&C4&" "&D4" " &E4. use the " " marks to place a space,
dash, or any other character between combined cells

Hope this helps
