    Cell Merge with Text Amendment

    Hi Guys,

    So glad I found this site, some very useful info on this forum. Great work...

    I have a small issue I would like some help with please, hope someone can help.

    I have the following example cells :
    A B C
    1 IT-555 Interface Eth0/1 IT-555_Eth0/1
    2 IT-T43 Interface Eth1/1 IT-T43_Eth1/1
    3 IT-211 Interface Eth0/0 IT-211_Eth0/0

    Example : (A) has "IT-555" (B) has "Interface Eth0/1" and the result I want in C is "IT-555_Eth0/1"

    So the end result I am trying to reach in column C is to merge the text from A & B and remove the word Interface and replace it with _

    Can someone give me some help please.

    Thank you in advance.

    Try

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1&B1,"Interface ","_")

    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi,

    Yes and works great, but I also may need to amend this so it works with a VLOOKUP & SUBSTITUE, is that possible?

    Thanks

    Probably, but you'll need to elaborate some more.
