    Red face multiple columns to single column

    Does anyone know how to do this? I have lots of columns that need to be combined into a single column. Any ideas appreciated, I have looked in all the forums but cant quite find the right answer.

    Thanks

    Try concatenating...

    e.g.

    =A1&B1&C1&etc...

    Then you can copy this new column and Paste Special >> Values so that you can delete the old columns, if desired.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    I think you need to explain a little better, beatrice. Posting an example would probably help.
