Morning all,

Using Excel 2007.

Is it possible to combine a text value and a vlookup into a single cell ?

By way of example what I have at the moment is the text "Batch 1:" in cell A10 and a lookup in cell B10 which pulls through a comment on Batch1 from another source.

The problem is that cells A1 to A8 contain further text in each cell. Now this text is a lot longer than Batch 1 but it still needs to be seen.

So what I have is :

Batch 1: Then the result of my look up further over the sheet than I would like (it amounts to about 30 spaces away).


So, I was wondering if it is possible to combine the text Batch 1: and the vlookup into the same cell?

All help appreciated.

TIA

No, that's not what you want. If you uncheck it, what error does the cell now show - #N/A?

With a little tinkering, I was able to get it to work once I unchecked that box. So, at this time it seems to have worked. Thank you!
