Hi Tanz,

If I understand you correctly you would like cell D1 to be like this:
Hello Hello Hello Stuff Stuff Stuff Stuff Stuff Stuff hannah hannah

First you need to split your data into two columns. Go to top menu Data > Text to columns (or delimiter) and follow on screen directions.

Now use this formula in D1:
=REPT(A1 & " ",B1) & REPT(A2 & " ",B2) & REPT(A3 & " ",B3)

Is this the result you were looking for?

Best regards,
Trowa
