Hi

I use WinXP with Excel 2000

I use a "helper" column in a linked spread sheet with approx 1200 lines of
data that is then used to generate a pivot table.

The formula in the helper colum is as follows:

=IF(VALUE(F984)=0,"",CONCATENATE(I984&"      [",B984&" DAYS ]"))

As you can see by the formula that I am adding a reference to another cell &
the word DAYS inside [] brackets from the text string in cell I984.

This works fine.

However as the original text string is of varying lengths the result is that
the data that I am concatenating is also staggered.

Example:

BLACK PB4W45855-PN84503-T      [  77 DAYS ]
BROWN PN3W45854-PN43009-T      [  36 DAYS ]
WHITE SPW0363X-PS13007-A      [  77 DAYS ]
E GREEN SPG0463X-PS53008-A      [  77 DAYS ]
RYSDALE BROWN-PN42789-D      [ 103 DAYS ]

What I would like to be able to do is have the concatenated data to be
"right aligned" in the cell while the original data stays left aligned.

Example:

BLACK PB4W45855-PN84503-T    [  77 DAYS ]
BROWN PN3W45854-PN43009-T    [  36 DAYS ]
WHITE SPW0363X-PS13007-A    [  77 DAYS ]
E GREEN SPG0463X-PS53008-A    [  77 DAYS ]
RYSDALE BROWN-PN42789-D    [ 103 DAYS ]

Is this possible?

Thanks

John
