[Year 12 IPM] excel merge

[Allan Barnes]

Hi Andrew

 

What you need to do is use the concatenate function to string the two values
together.

 

For example:

 

=CONCATENATE((VLOOKUP(A2,A2:D14,1)), " has done well "). This will take the
value from the firs column, which is the first name of the student, and add
the comment "has done well".

 

 

 

 

Kind regards

hi 

 

i hope this is not too silly a question

 

im trying to get excel to do something fairly simple but i keep coming
unstuck

 

i want it to insert a name from a colum into a line of text

 

a simple cell reference will insert the name but as soon as u add other text
u get an error message

 

 (see attached screen dump)

 

 

any ideas out there?
