When trying to combine fields into 1 column, "exclude from display" causes token content to disappear.

I'll try to explain this as best as I can.

I have 2 content types feeding into my sheetnode view, CCK1 and CCK2.

CCK1 has a field1 and CCK2 has field2.

What I'm trying to do is create 1 column of output in my sheetnode by combing the data in field1 into field2. I have both field1 and field2 listed under "Fields" in views. I changed field1 to "exclude from display" and tried to add it in the rewrite field of field2. When I do this, I don't see any of the field1 content.

When I removed "exclude from display" on field1 the token actually works and shows up in the rewrite area of field2.

Any ideas why the token wouldn't be passed when "exclude from display" is checked? I'm not sure if this is a sheetnode issue of a views issue.
