The following screenshot demonstrates the difference between these two methods: This method is often used to combine a few pieces of text that reside in different cells (technically, these are called text strings or simply strings) or insert a formula-calculated value in the middle of some text. In other words, concatenation in Excel is the process of joining two or more values together. When you concatenate cells in Excel, you combine only the contents of those cells. As a result, you have one larger cell that is displayed across multiple rows and/or columns in your worksheet. When you merge cells, you "physically" merge two or more cells into a single cell. In essence, there are two ways to combine data in Excel spreadsheets: Merge Cells add-in - formula-free way to concatenate cells in Excel.Opposite of CONCATENATE in Excel (split cells).Concatenate numbers and dates in the desired format.Concatenating two or more columns in Excel.Concatenate cells with space, comma and other chars.In this tutorial, we are going to explore various techniques of Excel string concatenation so that you can choose the method best suited for your worksheets. Common examples that require concatenation in Excel are joining names and address parts, combining text with a formula-driven value, displaying dates and times in the desired format, to name a few. Often you may want to split the content of one cell into individual cells, or do the opposite - combine data from two or more columns into a single column. In your Excel workbooks, the data is not always structured according to your needs. In this tutorial, you will learn various ways to concatenate text strings, cells, ranges, columns and rows in Excel using the CONCATENATE function and "&" operator.
