Syntax

where,

text: is the text or the reference to the cells with text.

Example 4: Manually join text and insert space from another cell reference.

To join text manually from different cells and insert space from another cell reference, users have to follow two steps:

Step 1: Leave space in a cell. In our example, we pressed space twice in column E (Started) and then wrote the formula =C6&E7&D7.

Step 2: Write the formula =C6&E7&D7, and press ENTER. See the image below.

We can join text from multiple cells and space by the older version of CONCAT–CONCATENATE.

concatenate, function, excel, & operator, concat, join, strings, delimiter, space, comma, dash, textjoin function, ignore empty cells, text function, format, line break

Example 7: Join first and last names and add common email:

The formula is =CONCAT(C6, D6, “@gmail.com”), which joins the first and last names and adds @gmail.com.

concatenate, function, excel, & operator, concat, join, strings, delimiter, space, comma, dash, textjoin function, ignore empty cells, text function, format, line break

Example 8: Join a range of cells with CONCAT:

The CONCAT function, which replaced CONCATENATE, can join range of cells. The previous version–CONCATENATE–cannot join range of cells. The formula is =CONCAT(Range of cells).

concatenate, function, excel, & operator, concat, join, strings, delimiter, space, comma, dash, textjoin function, ignore empty cells, text function, format, line break

Example 9: Merge two or more non-contiguous ranges using CONCAT:

To join two or more non-contiguous ranges of cells, we need to use the formula =CONAT(range1, range2) as shown in the following image.

CONCAT, CONCATENATE, function, excel, & operator, concat, join, strings, delimiter, space, comma, dash, textjoin function, ignore empty cells, text function, format, line break

Example 10: CONCAT all the cells in a column and separate the text by comma:
