    use Concatenate() or &

    e.g.

    =CONCATENATE(A1,",",B1,",",C1)

    or

    =A1&","&B1&","&C1
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    I have assumed that the 3 cells you want to concatenate are in A1, B1 and C1, respectively.

    just type one of the formulas in the cell where you want the result to be... change A1, B1 and C1 to match the cell you want to concatenate together.

    Awesome!! Thanks! I have just one more if you have time.

    I want to do a filter so it retains the whole row that has a given search term in it.

    Data|Filter|Autofilter, then select from the dropdown at the top of the column of interest.

    But i want it to find and filter every and any instance of a word though out the whole spreadsheet. It used to be some sort of "file contains" formula but i dont know how to do it in 2007.

    I don't know of any "file contains".

    In XL2007, go to Data Tab, Filter... may, you need to select "text filter", then "contains"...

    is that it?
