Macro help


Posted by Cathy on October 19, 2001 12:04 PM

Need help with creating a macro.

I have information in one cell I would like combine with another cell, separated with a hyphen.

ie.

Cell A2
12

Cell A3
14569

End results:
12-14569 (either in a new cell or in cell A2)

Thanks!

You can easily do this with a formula. Just put
=A2&"-"&A3

Why not use a formula...instead of a macro?

=A2&"-"&A3

Dobleclick on the Sheets or in the Workbook (In the Visual Basic editor, the macro should be in one of those)

Got it to work on one spreadsheet but for some reason not another

There is an existing spreadsheet which won't calculate the formula, but if I open a new spreadsheet, everything is fine. Help??

Re: Got it to work on one spreadsheet but for some reason not another

What's the format of the cell where you're entering
the formula? There is an existing spreadsheet which won't calculate the formula, but if I open a new spreadsheet, everything is fine. Help??
