    Merging Data

    Hi there

    I'm sure there's a way of doing what I want to do but can't remember how.

    I'm compiling data to be transfered into a report program but the programe can't deal with any Excel Formulas so the data has to appear 'as is' so to speak.

    I have 2 columns of data (roughly 1200 rows) and I need to merge the two together but i can't have the formula in the merged cell - if that makes sense.

    eg. Cell A1 displays Thomas
    Cell B1 displays Brown

    Cell C1 needs to display Thomas Brown but not the formula of
    =CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)

    The programe will only be able to comprehend Thomas Brown and not
    =CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)

    Any suggestions other than me manually typing the whole lot
