What is CONCATENATE Function?

How To Use Concatenate Function in MS Excel?

In MS Excel there are many ways to merge two or more different cells or two different values. In this article, we will provide you all possible ways to merge values in one cell.

We can merge two or more cells in one column by the following options.

1 - CONCATENATE

2 - & function

1 - CONCATENATE

Concatenate is very common MS Excel formula. Maximum people use concatenate formula to merge two or more cells. For example, we have raw data, where the first and last names are showing in two different columns. Let's suppose column A contains the first name and column B contains the last name. Our requirement is to merge both names in Column C. The example has been shown below in the images.

Syntax : =concatenate(Text1,Text2,Text3……)

By using concatenate function we can merge as many cells as we would like to merge.

Image: 1: In our raw data we have the first name and last name in two different columns, now our target is to merge the first and last name in one column C.

Image:2: We have used the formula and also merged both names in one column C. You can see the formula in Image 2 and Image 3.

Image 3: We have used the formula in Image 3 column C.

Explanation: After using concatenate function we need to select the first name cell. Between both the name we must have a space. If we select both cells together, then the space will not show between the first and last name, that is the reason we have used (" ") to get a space between the first and last name.

2 - & function

Most of the Excel users don't know about this function. This is not a formula in MS Excel but a kind of extra way to merge two or more cells. With the help of this function, you can also add more values in the cells.

We are using the same example as above. There are first and last name and we want to merge both names. The magical function is there in the third column.

Select first name and use &, with & symbol you can add as many column as you wish. The meaning of &" "& syntax is to give a space between the first and last name.
