Nifty Tip: Using the CONCATENATE Formula

The CONCATENATE formula allows one to combine text from multiple cells into a single cell. The CONCATENATE formula is in the Text category in the Insert Function dialog box.

To add a blank character between words, type a space between quotation marks. This adds a blank character between the separated text. Whatever is between the quotes, be it a space, text or characters, it will show up in the concatenation.

So, if you were trying to create an email address at Dartmouth College, the formula would be:

=CONCATENATE(A3,”.”,B3,”@dartmouth.edu”)

Which would yield: Mickey.Mouse@dartmouth.edu
