CONCATENATE function

This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the CONCATENATE function in Microsoft Office Excel.

Description

The CONCATENATE function joins up to 255 text strings into one text string. The joined items can be text, numbers, cell references, or a combination of those items. For example, if your worksheet contains a person's first name in cell A1 and the person's last name in cell B1, you can combine the two values in another cell by using the following formula:
=CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)
The second argument in this example (" ") is a space character. You must specify any spaces or punctuation that you want to appear in the results as an argument that is enclosed in quotation marks.

Syntax

CONCATENATE(text1, [text2], ...)
The CONCATENATE function syntax has the following arguments:
  • text1    Required. The first text item to be concatenated.
  • text2 ...    Optional. Additional text items, up to a maximum of 255 items. The items must be separated by commas.
 Note   You can also use the ampersand (&) calculation operator instead of the CONCATENATE function to join text items. For example, =A1 & B1 returns the same value as =CONCATENATE(A1, B1).

Example

The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.
