It's called "nesting" functions for instance, to concatenate A2, B2 and C2 with spaces between you would use: =A2&" "&B2&" "&C2
now, the Trim() function expects a string, so you give it the concatenated string: =TRIM(A2&" "&B2&" "&C2) Now, what if you need to trim each of the values independently? then use: =TRIM(A2)&" "&TRIM(B2)&" "&TRIM(C2) Next, the Proper() function expects a string, then use the output from the previous function: =PROPER(TRIM(A2&" "&B2&" "&C2)) or: =PROPER(TRIM(A2)&" "&TRIM(B2)&" "&TRIM(C2)) Now, if you only want to apply "proper" to the first word, then it's just a matter of where you place the () =PROPER(TRIM(A2)) & " " & TRIM(B2) & " " & TRIM(C2) Paul ________________________________ From: $ⓤⓗⓐ$ <suhas...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, February 8, 2010 5:43:55 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Please help to apply formula Hi all, How to apply more than two functions in a singal formual., For ex:- i have to concatenate data and make it trim and proper.
