    Combining fields and outputting to one cell

    Hello;
    I've searched through Google and can't seem to find it, so I'm turning
    to the experts for help. I'm redoing our membership list in Excel
    format (because I don't really care for PDF files), and am breaking
    down all fields, such as e-mail, telephone numbers, etc (so that when I
    convert the Excel file into a searchable field, we can do queries to
    see who has what area code, exchange, domain for e-mail, etc). I would
    like to get Excel to combine the fields for the e-mail and pagers, and
    output them as one. For example, if someone has an e-mail address of
    example@firehouse.com, I'd have one field with the username, one field
    with the domain, and one with the extension (or whatever it's called;
    the "dot com" part). I'd like Excel to take those and put them together
    to display "example@firehouse.com".

    For the pager part, I'd like to take it one step further. Given that we
    use Arch Wireless, and we have e-mail to pager abilities, I'd like to
    have Excel integrate that. As an example, if I have pager 222-333-4444,
    and it's 3 fields (area code, exchange, and phone #), I'd like Excel to
    output it as 2223334444@archwireless.net, preferably as a hyperlink (if
    possible).

    Is this possible? If so, how difficult is it?
    Thank you all for your help in advance!

    I'm assuming you want these to be clickable hyperlinks rather than just
    plain text.

    For an email hyperlink with name (fred) ,domain (gmail) and TLD (com) in
    A1,B1,C1 put this in D1:

    =HYPERLINK("mailto:" & A1 & "@" & B1 & "." & C1, A1 & "@" & B1 & "." & C1)

    Similar pattern applies to pager link.

    If you just want plain text then:

    =A1 & "@" & B1 & "." & C1

    Doug,

    If the information is already in Excel then it shouldn't take too much
    programming to accomplish what you want. If you want, send me a sample of
    what you have and I'll take a look at it and help you code it.
