Mike Williams Mike Williams Williams, Mike =CONCATENATE(B2,", ",A2)
Cheri Griffith Cheri Griffith Griffith, Cheri =CONCATENATE(B2,", ",A2)

The concatenate function will enable you to "merge" several cells into one including spaces, commas, other text.
For example, say you have first and last names in separate columns and you want to put the whole name into one column
Type this: =CONCATENATE(A2," ",B2)
into the cell to the right of the first/last name fields and you'll get the first name a space then the last name all in one column.
The examples in columns C and D show how you can merge the fields in different ways.

SECTOR TRX CELLID Use the MML command to change the FREQ on a sector:

A2A001BS11 TRX-002 21251 ZERM:NAME=A2A001BS11,TRX=2:FREQ=567; =CONCATENATE("ZERM:NAME=",A16,",TRX=",RIGHT(B16,1),":FREQ=567;")
A2A001BS12 TRX-003 21252 ZERM:NAME=A2A001BS12,TRX=3:FREQ=567; =CONCATENATE("ZERM:NAME=",A16,",TRX=",RIGHT(B16,1),":FREQ=567;")
