Excel – Combine 3 columns into one in Excel 2011 for Mac

microsoft excelspreadsheet

I am trying to manipulate a bunch of string elements I have put in columns in Excel. I then filled the preceding column with data, and then the following column as well. Now I want to delete the column boundaries, leaving one column with the data from all the columns in that one. Like so:

      A    B    C  
    1 @    #    @   
    2 @    #    @  
    3 @    #    @  

And I want it to look like this:

  A     B     C  
1      @#@  
2      @#@  
3      @#@  

The actual names of the columns and rows are irrelevant, I think, but they are adjacent.

Best Answer

Set up column D to use the formula =CONCATENATE(A1,B1,C1) then delete columns ABC
