    Concatenate and substitute

    Can a substitute formula be nested into the concatenate formula?

    Re: Concatenate and substitute

    I can try. I am putting manufacturer name and a part number together but I am stripping out the dash in the MFR number so BBRA and 99-338 would be BBRA99-338 and I need it to be BBRA99338. I am making a template that uses a vlookup on a database. by creating the no dash concatenated version of the number, it keeps me from pulling back the wrong item number. I hope that makes sence.

    thanks

    --With
    A1: BBRA
    B1: 99-338

    This regular formula concatenates A1 and B1 and removes the dash
    C1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1&B1,"-","")

    Does that help?
