    Displaying multiple values

    Hello all,
    I feel like I have a very simple problem, but I can't figure it out. I need to get the values of multiple cells to display in one single cell. These values consist of both numbers and letters. For example, if cell R2 contains "K", S2 contains "F", T2 contains "54", and U2 contains "A", I would like cell J2 to display KF54A. I have tried to do the formula =R2,S2,T2,U2 but I return a VALUE error. How do I get this to happen?

    Thank you so much for your help

    Re: Displaying multiple values

    That worked! Thank You!
    Now, I'm having another problem, if the value of T2 is "01", only "1" is displayed. I have used the format cells > custom > 00 but it still doesn't work... I would like it to display a LETTER LETTER DIGIT DIGIT LETTER always, whether there is a zero or not. I have tried to enter ##00# but that doesn't do the trick

    In T2 your format is text?

    In T2 my format is digits, but there are leading zeros in many of them, so when I would like the value of J2 to be KM03A, it is showing up as just KM3A

    Re: Displaying multiple values

    digit format with leading zeroes...?

    Does this helps?

    =IF(LEFT(T2,1)=0,R2&S2&0&T2&U2,R2&S2&T2&U2)

    Re: Displaying multiple values

    No, that still only displays the one digit without the leading zero...

    Re: Displaying multiple values

    That isn't an option on my excel, I can do format cells, but then cumber and text are two different things, so I can't select one in the other.
