sorry if that confused you, that didn't show up like expected.

in plain english: I have a 10 digit phone number split into three columns and I want to merge those 3 columns into 1.

Assuming your data starts on line 1, in D1, enter:
=A1 & B1 & C1

This will sew them together in one cell. Then you can do a Copy | Paste Special | Values on the column if you wish to get rid if the formulas and hard code the result (and paste back to column A, if desired).
