    I actually just came up with a workaround that is going to work.  My variables are in an Excel sheet.  I basically created a new variable that is a concatonation of the cells using a basic excel formula:

    =  "Testing as" &A1&" - "&A2 where the variables i wanted in the string were in A1 and A2.

    Again, I appreciate your assistance.  I was overthinking it I guess.

    It would help us if you give an example that you tried and what the result was.  We can't guess what you did, but specific examples we can help you fix.
