    Combine Cells and add a text

    So I have Columns " A" Last names and column " B" First names

    I am currently using =B1&" "&A1 in column C

    and that gives me First Name Last Name

    Now I want to be able to add a Mr/Mrs/Dr in front of the names is there a way to do that without making a column for the Mr. and Mrs

    edit: I want to be able to type in the Mr/Mrs/Dr myself in the cell with the formula

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Thanks.

    No, you can't do it automatically - how would Excel know what to choose?

    How can excel decide on the gender of the individual, or their graduate status? Please upload a small (10 rows) sample file with fake data for us to play with.

    Also NA tells us nothing about the Excel product you are using. Is it Office 365, Excel 2021, 2019.... or what?

    Yeah sorry fixed that. Its Office 365 the subscription one. And I was just hoping to be able to type into the cell my self before the formula or something to add the Mr/Mrs/ Dr though don't know if that's possible without adding another column with it or with their gender.

    Re: Combine Cells and add a text

    ="Mr "&B1&" "&A1

    will do that, but it is MUCH more trouble than adding another column!!!

    Thank you! Might add another column later and hide it, they just didn't want to see a column for that. Again thank you!!
