Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Mix summary and detail bar description names - without a jumbled typo line next to the summary bars.  I guess I could create a custom column and have it blank for WBS items that I will roll-up but I assume there should be a way without the extra step that someone have figured out...

Hi John

Work on a spreadsheet with the text in different columns and you can concatenate the cells into one text string.

such as:

B3&C3&D3

If you need a text diveder such a a space or - then put this into cell B2 and the concatenation would run:

B3&$B$2&C3&$B$2&D3

This formula can then be coppied down the spreadsheet.

I use concatenation to create text strings for delay analysis reports.

Best regards
