MS excel is the application that can solve your every problem in calculation but there is now any button to join/combine two or more cell into new one cell.
In this article we will learn how to show two or more values in one cell from different cells. Merging or combining different cell is common issue that most of the math or accounting users face in different stages. See below
In above picture, we have combined B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 cell in one cell having biodata of a student like Name, Roll Number class and etc. In Red Cell the the cell having Formula to collect and show the values. Changing the value in one cell results automatically change in the value in combined cell. This is the topic we are going to discuss today,
There are two way to combine the cells;
- Combining by CONCATENATE function
- Combining by & Operator
Combining by CONCATENATE function
MS Excel has provided many methods to to this and CONCATENATE is one of them that is widely used in the word by most of the users.
Concatenate is the function that will help us to get our objective. This function merges the values of different cells into one new cell without losing actual data.
The Following is the formula to concatenate the values
- Combine different cell values without spaces between the values: =CONCATENATE(B1,B2,B3,B4,B5)
- Combine different cell values and separate the values with comma: =CONCATENATE(B1,”,”,B2,”,”,B3,”,”,B4,”,”,B5)
- Combine different cell values into one cell separated by spaces =CONCATENATE(B1,”, “,B2,”, “,B3,”, “,B4,”, “,B5)
Yes and Done, this is the perfect and official format used every where like (Zahid, 341, MBA, GCU, Fsd)
There is another way to combine or merge the values of different cells into one cell without losing data. That was is to use & Operator in formula bar.
