    Re: Edit and replace long text in a single cell

    i want to ask about the "&B3&"

    what the use for "& &"

    is it to make the function to call the cell?

    and why the last formula only contain "&D3, without &" on the last

    It is used to concatenate the text and the contents of the cell. It works like this:

    ="text text"&cell_reference&"more text"
