    Hi,

    I usually know about this stuff, but I can't seem to do a simple command that I would like to do.

    I have the IP and Port of a shoutcast server, in seperate cells and I want to have a clickable link out to that page, so here is the command I would have liked to enter.

    ="http://" + IP + ":" + Port

    Obviously the IP and Port are replaced by the cells but how can i do this?


    Thanks,

    -Hecky

    Try concatenate that should do it.

    Kerry is correct, you need to click = then pick concatenate. Put each cell in its own section and hit ok. This will bring them all together. Then just make it clickable!

    The concatenate function can be used the following way:
    =CONCATENATE("http://",IP,":",Port)
