Hi

I have 15 strings that I need to add together to obtain a part number.

Is there a nice way of doing this rather than

string1 & string2 & string3 ... etc

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Unless you want to create some VBA code to do it, your choices are using the ampersand, or the CONCATENATE function.
See: MS Excel: How to use the CONCATENATE Function (WS)

Note: It looks like in Excel 2016 they replaced the CONCATENATE function with the CONCAT function.
