Strange?!

I am using CONCATENATE function to merge a1-b1-c1 cells.

Althoug it works fine the resulting cell has a huge SPACE between a1
and b1 although I couldn't know whay?

What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Jo

Maybe you have trailing spaces in A1 or leading spaces in B1 or both?????

Your data in A1 may have space at the end of it.

But I re-copied it and did paste special as value but still have the
problem! How can I go around this?

The problem is probably that either A1 or B1 has a lot of space characters
in it. See what =LEN(A1) and =LEN(TRIM(A1)) say, and equivalently for B1.
You may also have non-printing characters, so try CLEAN instead of TRIM.

check = len(A1)
and B1 and C1 you will probably see a higher number than expected
you might try
=concatinate(trim(clean(A1)),...)
if there is a large discrepency in the length
note these won't get rid of all possible charaters but will most common ones.
