hi just wondering if anyone can help- this is probably really simple,
but anyway:

ive got a list of postcodes, however, there in seperate cells, ie -

EX5 3HU
BD24 4HU
PL87 6HY
GU56 3RG

What i need to do is combine them so they are in the same cell (with a
1 space in between them so it looks like below:

EX5 3HU
BD24 4HU
PL87 6HY
GU56 3RG

Help would be very much appricated

One solution: in cell C1 enter the formula
=A1&" "&B1
where A1 holds EX5 and B1 holds 3HU, for instance.

Another alternative in C1 is
=CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)

Assuming EX5 and 3HU are in cells A1 and B1 respectively, type the
formula
=A1&" "&B1 into C1, and copy it down the column.

Assuming you are using columns A and B, use the following formula in cell C1
to "concatenate" the two cells: =A1&" "&B1 (a space between the quotation
marks), then copy down as far as necessary. When done, Copy and Paste
Special > Value everything in column C over the data in column C to remove
the formula. Then you can delete columns A and B.
