How To Excel Concatenate?

Use `=CONCATENATE(text1, text2, …)` to join text values

Use `=CONCAT(text1, text2, …)` as a newer alternative

Use `=TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, text2, …)` to join with a separator

Use `&` to combine cells, such as `=A1&B1`

Add spaces with quotes, such as `=A1&” “&B1`

Add commas or other separators with quotes, such as `=A1&”, “&B1`

Combine numbers and text by wrapping numbers with `TEXT()`

Use cell references instead of typing values directly

Copy the formula down to apply it to multiple rows

Use `TRIM()` to remove extra spaces after concatenation

Use `CHAR(10)` to insert line breaks in concatenated text

Turn on Wrap Text to display line breaks properly

Use absolute references with `$` when needed

Use `TEXTJOIN` to ignore blank cells automatically

Use `CONCAT` or `&` instead of `CONCATENATE` for newer workbooks
