What is going on? Why are people posting with answers that were supplied
hours, even days, ago?

It appears that they are using some thoroughly unreliable web interface to
the newsgroup, and my guess is that they are not seeing the answers that
those of us accessing the newsgroup by more reliable means can send and see.

If Microsoft can't provide a reliable link between their web server and
their news server, it would be easier if they were to separate the two
systems completely, and then those who prefer to use a web forum could use
that, and those who prefer the newsgroup could use this.
 
You need to identifiy each item

=CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6,A7)

For spaces, you need to include them also

=CONCATENATE(A1," ",A2," ",A3," ",A4," ",A5," ",A6," ",A7," ")

Take a look at my thread "FYI: MSDG not displaying posts;...". Ignore
Peter's comments; he did not understand the problem. But some of my later
response refine the details of the problem.

I'm not sure which postings your are complaining about. But if you look at
the actual "source" of the posting, you might see that the From address is
"@discussions.microsoft.com" or that the Message-ID is "@microsoft.com".
Either indicates that it was submitted using the MS Discussion Groups web
interface. Such is the case for some of the more recent postings that I
looked at in this thread.

FYI, the MSDG web interface is still broken as of the time of this response,
more than 48 hours later.

Use the amperand (&) to string things together. In your example, something
like:

=A1&" "&A2&" "&A3&" "&A4&" "&A5&" "&A6
 
Hi

Using the Excel's Concatenate function, try this

=CONCATENATE(A1," ",A2," ",A3," ",A4," ",A5," ",A6)

Normally, I use the & to concatenate, in your case which will be

=A1&" "&A2&" "&A3&" "&A4&" "&A5&" "&A6

Try this:
=CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6)

All it does is add the values in all the specified cells.
 
Rebecca -

You can put this in cell A8:

=CONCATENATE(A1," ",A2," ",A3," ",A4," ",A5," ",A6)

This assumes you don't have the spaces in your cells and they must be
concatenated in.

If you have a lot of these, and the number of cells can be large, then you
could also do something like this is a column next to the cells:

in B1: =A1
in B2: =B1 & " " & A2

Then drag B2 down as far as you need. This will append all the words with
spaces between, and is much faster to create than the concatenate formula.
