    You need to add an additional "&".

    Your formula in B6 would look like this (assuming you want to combine with C6):

    Re: Vlookup to show multile values in one cell

    You can either use this in B6:

    =VLOOKUP($A6,'11-3-14'!$H$3:$J$33,3,FALSE)&" / "&C6

    in which case you would still have the second value in C6,, or you could do this in B6:

    =VLOOKUP($A6,'11-3-14'!$H$3:$J$33,3,FALSE)&" / "&VLOOKUP($A6,'11-3-14'!$H$3:$J$33,2,FALSE)

    in which case you can remove the formula from C6.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    The formula is correct as written by mcmahobt.

    Look very closely at the code between the two VLOOKUPS.

    =VLOOKUP($A6,'11-3-14'!$H$3:$J$33,3,FALSE)&" /"&VLOOKUP($A6,'11-3-14'!$H$3:$J$33,2,FALSE)

    Pete, the first formula you suggest would work but i want to get rid of the excess cells so the second one you and mcmahobt have suggested is perfect. Thank you guys
