Joined Mar 15, 2006 Messages 12 Hi I have a spreadsheet that was designed to convert a 318 character string into appropriate fields. To preserve the original format and any line spaces this data is ALL save as TEXT I am attempting to now go backwards and convert this data back into its original single 318 character field. My issue is that when using either the concatenate or text function, it treats the formula as TEXT instead of a formula. =concatenate(A2,B2,C2,D2,E2,F2,G2,H2,I2,J2,K2,L2,M2,N2,O2,P2,Q2,R2,S2,T2,U2,V2,W2,X2,Y2,Z2,AA2,AB2,AC2,AD2) Have attempted to reformat this field into all the different options but with no success. I suspect the issue is related to the data that is stored as TEXT? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hope this helps. Have a great day, Stan Upvote 0 A

Basically, you have to format the cell back to general before you try to enter a formula. If you do it afterwards, then you have to edit the formula, and put it back in again.
