This document provides instructions for combining or merging text from multiple cells into a single cell in Excel. It describes using the concatenation operator "&" in a formula to join text from different cells. For example, using "=cell1 & " " & cell2" to combine a first and last name with a space between. It also mentions other functions like CONCAT and TEXTJOIN that can be used to join multiple text values with a delimiter like a comma.

1. Combine text from
two or more cells
into one cell

2. You can combine or merge text from
two or more cells into one cell.

3. One way to do this is to write a formula in a
third column which uses the concatenation
operator, the ampersand (&).

4. 1. Click the cell where you want to put the combined text.

5. 2. Type =(

6. 3. Click the cell that contains the first text you want to
combine, such as a person’s first name.

7. 4. Type &” “& (a space enclosed in quotation marks).

8. 5. Click the next cell with the text that you want to
combine, such as a person’s last name.

9. 6. Type ) and then press ENTER.
That’s all there is to it!

10. To add a comma, type &”, “& (a comma followed by
a space, both enclosed in quotation marks).

11. To combine the text in more than two cells,
continue selecting cells, and typing &” “& after
each cell you select.

12. The CONCATENATE function can also be used to
join different pieces of text together.

13. Excel 2016
CONCAT replaces the CONCATENATE function.

14. Excel 2016
CONCAT replaces the CONCATENATE function.
The CONCAT function combines the text from
multiple ranges and/or strings, but it doesn't
provide the delimiter or IgnoreEmpty
arguments.

15. Excel 2016
CONCAT replaces the CONCATENATE function.
The CONCAT function combines the text from multiple
ranges and/or strings, but it doesn't provide the
delimiter or IgnoreEmpty arguments.
The TEXTJOIN function combines the text from multiple
ranges and/or strings, and includes a delimiter you
specify between each text value that will be combined.

16. CONCAT vs TEXTJOIN Example
=CONCAT("The"," ","sun"," ","will"," ","come","
","up"," ","tomorrow.") will return:
The sun will come up tomorrow.
=TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE, "The", "sun", "will", "come",
"up", "tomorrow.") will return:
The sun will come up tomorrow.
