    concatenate in excel mobile

    I copied a workbook from my pc to a windows mobile device with Excel Mobile. The formula in question has concatenate in it, but it keeps saying that the syntax is bad. Is concatenate not supported in the Mobile version?



    Thanks!

    Instead of:

    =CONCATENATE(A1,B1,C1)


    ...the correct current syntax would be:

    =A1&B1&C1

    Give that a try.

    Concatenate works on my Excel Mobile.. I have a newer AT&T HTC phone.
    Here is a list of other functions:

    Still not working. Here is the formula:

    =CONCATENATE(Summary!E11,", ",Summary!F11)

    It works fine on the pc, but mobile says syntax is incorrect.
