Dear all,
How do I merge text fields of 3 different columns into 1 field?
For example:
A1: 120071
B1: 15
C1: 000
D1: all 3 fields must be pasted to become: 12007115000
What if I would like a dot in between each field? --> 120071.15.000
Thanks!

You can use this formula to create a text string of those values:
=A1 & B1 & C1
If you want them to be an actual number, then use:
=(A1 & B1 & C1) + 0
Lastly, for the periods (which will result in a text string):
=A1 & "." & B1 & "." & C1
NOTE: You will need to format those cells as General for the formulas to work.
