Join Strings of Text (& or CONCATENATE)
Syntax: & or CONCATENATE(text1; text2; … text30)
The CONCATENATE function can join up to 30 strings of text. There is no limit for the & operator. For example:
=”Bonnie”&”Clyde”
becomes BonnieClyde.
If you want to add spaces you need to use a space enclosed in quotation marks (""). For example:
="Bonnie"&" "&"Clyde"
returns Bonnie Clyde.
Figure 9-2. Sample result of the CONCATENATE function
If these strings were stored in three separate cells, you could also use this notation
=A1&A2&A3
or
=CONCATENATE(B311;C311;D311)
assuming that B311 holds “Bonnie”, C311 holds “ ”, and D311 holds “Clyde”.
