          1. What is Excel CONCATENATE Function?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          Concatenation simply refers to combining or linking two things together. The CONCATENATE<\/strong>\u00a0function in Microsoft Excel is used to combine the data from two or more cells or columns. In other words, CONCATENATE is a function of Microsoft Excel that concatenates or combines various types of data from two or multiple cells, columns, and rows.<\/p>\n

          2. How to use CONCATENATE function in Excel to Combine Cells?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          Here you will see how to combine two or more cell with and without separator using the CONCATENATE<\/strong> function.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          2.1 Concatenate cells without separator<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1:<\/strong> Insert the formula given below in cell D2 and press Enter.<\/strong> This formula will combine two cells together.<\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,cell 2) or,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          Step 2: <\/strong>If you wish to combine three cells together use the following formula.<\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,cell 2,cell 3)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          2.2 Concatenate cells with a space, comma or another delimiter<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1: <\/strong>Use any of the below-given formulas to combine two or more cells with a separator like space, comma, or any other delimiter.<\/p>\n

          For two cells,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,” “,cell 2) or,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,”,”,cell 2) or,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,”-“,cell 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/strong>For multiple cells,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,” “,cell 2,\u201d \u201c,cell 3\u2026..) or,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,”,”,cell 2,\u201d,\u201c,cell 3\u2026..) or,<\/strong><\/p>\n

          =CONCATENATE(cell 1,”-“,cell 2,\u201d-\u201c,cell 3\u2026..)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          3. How to use CONCATENATE function in Excel to combine text strings?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          The data in A2 and B2 are text strings. If you click on them you will see Text inside the box in the Excel ribbon. We will combine these two text stings with and without separators using the CONCATENATE<\/strong> function.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          3.1 Concatenate text strings without separator<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1: <\/strong>Select cell D2 and insert the formula shown in the image and click Enter. <\/strong>The text strings will be concatenated. You can combine multiple text stings without a separator using the formula from the previous method about concatenating multiple cells.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          3.2 Concatenate text strings with a separator<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1: <\/strong>Use any of the formulas from the methods shown before to concatenate these text strings with a separator.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          3.3 Concatenate text string and number values<\/strong><\/p>\n

          In this picture, we can see column A and C contains number values and column B contains a text string. Just like cells and text strings, we can concatenate text strings and number values using CONCATENATE<\/strong> function.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          Step 1:<\/strong> Use the formula from the picture to concatenate text strings with number values without separators.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          Step 2: <\/strong>To concatenate text strings with number values with\u00a0a separator, use the formula from the image below.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          4. How to use CONCATENATE function in Excel to Combine Columns?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          4.1 Concatenate columns without Separator<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1: <\/strong>To combine two or multiple columns without separator use formulas shown before from \u201cConcatenate cells without separator\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          Step 2: <\/strong>Drag the cell down to apply the formula to the entire column to combine two or multiple columns without separator. Here, column A and column B are combined without separator in column D.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          4.2 Concatenate columns with Separator <\/strong><\/p>\n

          Step 1: <\/strong>Select cell D2 and insert any of the formulas from \u201cConcatenate cells with a space, comma or another delimiter\u201d <\/strong>based on how many columns you want to combine and with which separator.<\/p>\n

          \"CONCATENATE<\/p>\n

          Step 2:<\/strong> Again, drag the cell down like the previous method and all the columns will be concatenated with the delimiter you inserted.<\/p>\n
