excel 2003

Hi,
I would like several cells from the same row to be merged into one. The function "CONCATENATE" is doing this. But the problem is that it puts them one after the other, whereas I would like to have a space between them.
ex. (those names are in their own respective cells):
Acer rubrum trilobum

becomes (with the function CONCATENATE):
Acerrubrumtrilobum

whereas I would like it to be (all in the same cell):
Acer rubrum trilobum

How can I add a space? I am only aware of a function that gets RID of spaces...

Thanks

Re: excel 2003

Hi and welcome.

You need to add the space using quotation marks - for example

=A1&" "&B1&" "&C1

assuming your words were in cells A1, B1 and C1. I would use the ampersand rather than the Concatenate function for this.
