    It depends on what do you want as result. Your formula doesn't work at all, you may use CONCATENATE as jmcl0000 posted or correct your formula to

    =E2 &" " & H2 & " " & L2 & " " & P2

      jmcl0000  here are the two formulas I am using to try to  combine the first and last name in two separate columns into one column.  Neither works and only shows the formula in the cell.  The formula is not executing.  I have tried spacing as shown in another answer as well and the result is the same.  

       

      =concatenate(e2" "f2)

      =concat(e2" "f2)

      =E3 &" " & F3
