You can combine data from multiple cells into a single cell using the Ampersand symbol (&) or the CONCAT function.

Combine data with the Ampersand symbol (&)

  1. Select the cell where you want to put the combined data.

  2. Type = and then select the first cell you want to combine.

  3. Next, type & and use quotation marks with a space enclosed.

  4. Select the next cell you want to combine and then press enter. An example formula might be =A2&" "&B2.

Note: To combine the text from more than two cells, continue selecting cells, and typing &” “& after each cell you select. If you don’t want to add a space between the combined text, type & instead of &” “&. To add a comma, type &”, “& (a comma followed by a space, both enclosed in quotation marks).

Combine data using the CONCAT function

  1. Select the cell where you want to put the combined data.

  2. Type =CONCAT(.

  3. Select the cell you want to combine first.
