Give an explanation of how you can merge the salesperson and the contact number cells together.

To merge the salesperson and contact number cells together, you can use the CONCATENATE function in Excel. Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the cell where you want the merged information to appear.
2. Type the following formula: =CONCATENATE(A1, " - ", B1)
3. Replace A1 and B1 with the cell references of the salesperson and contact number cells, respectively.
4. Press Enter to apply the formula.

This will combine the text in the salesperson and contact number cells, separated by a hyphen, in the cell where you entered the formula. You can adjust the formula as needed to include additional text or formatting.

Merge Cells Using a Formula

1. Create a new column: Insert a new column next to the "Contact Number" column.
2. Use the CONCATENATE function: Enter the following formula into the first cell of the new column:

```
=CONCATENATE(Salesperson, ", ", Contact_Number)
```

3. Drag the formula down: Drag the formula down to the remaining cells in the new column to merge the "Salesperson" and "Contact Number" cells for each row.

Merge Cells Using VBA Macro

1. Open the Visual Basic Editor (VBA): Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA window.
2. Insert a new module: Right-click the project name in the Project Explorer and select "Insert" > "Module".
3. Paste the following macro:

```
Sub MergeCells()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long, j As Long

' Loop through all rows in the salesperson column
For i = 1 To Range("Salesperson").Rows.Count
' Get the salesperson name and contact number
sName = Range("Salesperson").Cells(i, 1).Value
cNumber = Range("Contact_Number").Cells(i, 1).Value

' Merge the cells into a new column
Set rng = Range("Salesperson").Cells(i, 1)
rng.MergeCells = True
rng.Value = sName & ", " & cNumber
Next i
End Sub
```

4. Run the macro: Press F5 to run the macro.

Note:

- The "Salesperson" and "Contact_Number" cells must be adjacent to each other.
- The merged cells will display the concatenated value of the salesperson name and contact number.
- If you want to preserve the original values, make a copy of the data before merging the cells.
