Charlie Kilo Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey guys. So I have some data in an Excel spreadsheet I plan to import into my Filemaker file. The challenge is that the spreadsheet has the fields ADDRESS1 and ADDRESS2, which I'd like to concatenate into my Filemaker field ADDRESS. I can't see a way to do this. Can anyone help me out?

Keith LaMarre Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 one way would be to import them into 2 fields - then replace:Address 1 with Address_1 & "¶" & Address_2 Once this has been done, address 2 can be deleted - You might want to find only the records that have an address 2 first.

aldipalo Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I believe you would need to import the 2 fields and set up the address field as a calc. I have a program that grabs address info from web pages and documents and I need to Concatenate the company name + the zip code to create a unique comapnyid filed. I found it easier to do it on the excel side. =CONCATENATE(LEFT(A2,5),LEFT(L2,5)) Of course you would have to play with that calc to allow for a "," and spaces. So, you could set up a column in excel named address and concatenate the fields. They will copy over into FM with no problems. However, I must say that if you are looking to format the address onto 2 lines Keith's' way is probably better. HTH Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
