can't for the life of me figure out why this concatenate won't work:

i've used that exact syntax in another workbook and it was fine, but here it doesn't seem to return what I would think it would.

i've tried both general and text format, out of desperation, and of course that didn't do anything.

Any ideas where this is going wrong?

tia,

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Column G is probably formated as Text.

Find a column (to the right of all your data) that is formated as General (or from another spreadsheet), and copy that column onto colum G. Then re-enter your formula in cell G2, and re-enter into cell G1 'HHF_KEY'.


Have a great day,

Format that column as General.
Select that column, do a find and replace,
In find what, put =
In Replace with, put =
Click on Replace All
