About CONCAT 🔗

Use the CONCAT function in Excel to merge text from different cells or strings. Whether you're combining first and last names or assembling messages with dynamic content, CONCAT helps you efficiently combine text. This function simplifies your workflow by removing the need for complex formulas or nested operators.

Examples 🔗

To combine first names in cells A1 and last names in cells B1, use the CONCAT function to merge them into one cell. Enter the formula: =CONCAT(A1, " ", B1)

For a list of products, where product names are in column A and prices are in column B, use CONCAT to create a description that includes both the product name and its price. For instance: =CONCAT("The price of ", A1, " is $", B1)
