Combine words from different cells

You can easily combine or 'concatenate' texts and words from different cells into a new cell.
For example, you want to combine 2 words in cell A1 & A2 into cell B1.



Cell A1 contains the text "Alpha".
Cell A2 contains the text "123"
 
In cell B1, you type the formula =A1&A2. The end result: Cell B1 will show Alpha123.

If you want to separate the 2 contents with a space, you need to add a 'blank space'.
 


Cell A4 contains the text "Beta".
Cell A5 contains the text "234" In cell B4, you type the formula =A4&" "&A5. The end result: Cell B4 will show Beta 234.

 

You can also create sentences from the different cells. In the example above, you can write a sentence by combining text and cell data.  

By combining other Excel functions like SUM(), you can also create sentences and display the total of many numbers like above.
