For example, if cell A1 contains the text Tucson and cell A2 contains the text Arizona, the following formula then returns TucsonArizona: =A1&A2 Notice that the two strings are joined together without an intervening space. To add a space between the two entries (to get Tucson Arizona), use a formula like this one: =A1&” “&A2 Or, even better, use a comma and a space to produce Tucson, Arizona: =A1&”, “&A2 Another option is to eliminate the quote characters and use the CHAR function, with an appropriate argument. Note this example of using the CHAR function to represent a comma (44) and a space (32): =A1&CHAR(44)&CHAR(32)&A2 If you’d like to force a line break between strings, concatenate the strings by using CHAR(10), which inserts a line break character....
