    deleting spaces/merge question

    Hello,

    I have 4 columns of text imported from a txt file, so the cells appear as:

    A B C D
    1 1234 5613 1215 1541
    2 5481 8913 1245 1521

    What I would like to do is combine the information from a row of cells into a new cell. For example:

    E
    1 1234561312151541
    2 5481891312451521

    I can't seem to find a way to do it though. If I allow the cells to be imported as one cell (rather than 4) it inserts spaces between the groups of numbers, which I don't want.

    Thanks, any help is appreciated.

    =A1&B1&C1&D1 copied down
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    This worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick help. Your solution was simple, but believe me I puzzled about this!
