Combining two excel cells with one of the numbers having a hyphen
I am trying to combine two columns of number in Microsoft Excel. I have been able to combine the two cells if I remove the hyphen in the second cell. But I have many Rows of columns that I need to combine. Do you know a way I can combine these two into one column as 72381510036-8.
I have tried doing this with =concatenate(A1,b1). But creates an error I assume because of the hyphen. Thanks!!!

Hi, you can use any of the three methods shown in the image below if concatenate does not work. matthewMurph2777

If so we may add
=TEXTJOIN("",1,A1,B1)for the collection. Taking into account it works, as CONCAT(), not on any Excel on any platform.
