There's also the CONCATENATE function; it does the same thing.

Thus, =CONCATENATE(A1," ",C1) gives the same result.

Yours is more elegant.
'CONCATENATE' is that even a word?

'Yours' ?

Yes.

concatenate
vt \kän-ˈka-tə-ˌnāt, kən-\
concatenat·ed, concatenat·ing
: to link together in a series or chain
— con·cat·e·na·tion\(ˌ)kän-ˌka-tə-ˈnā-shən, kən-\ noun

yours
pronoun, singular or pl in constr \ˈyu̇rz, ˈyȯrz\
: that which belongs to you — used without a following noun as a pronoun equivalent in meaning to the adjective your <this book is yours> — often used especially with an adverbial modifier in the complimentary close of a letter <yours truly>

i cant get a diagram on here it just outs everything together and looks like jibberish.

basically lets say i have 1 column. we will call that column A. and i have 5 lines in column A. i have info on line 1 and line 3 and 5. how do i take the info on lines 1,3,5 to go to lines 1,2,3?
Ah, so this is what you have?


And this is what you want?


At this point, as far as I can tell, there is easy, automated way to do that.
Perhaps with macros or VBA.
The only other thing I've determined is you can use an ugly hack using a slew of FIND(), LEFT() and MID() functions keyed off the CHAR(10) characters (which is what Excel uses to make multiple lines in a single cell) in your cells. But I don't know of a good way to replace the line feed (char 10) with a "normal" character you can then use to split the cell.

I'm in for the resolution. I can always use another Excel trick.
