Concatenate Equation Text For Free

Click on the cell that contains the first text for the combined string. Type the & operator (shift + 7) Click on the cell that contains the next text for the combined string. Press Enter to complete the formula.

There are two ways to do this: Add double quotation marks with a space between them " ". For example: =CONCATENATE("Hello", " ", "World!"). Add a space after the Text argument. For example: =CONCATENATE("Hello ", "World!"). The string "Hello " has an extra space added.

One way to give yourself flexibility with formatting is to combine text and the results of a formula in a single cell. Use the & operator to concatenate the text and the formula.

To add both the text and formula in the same cell, you have to use the symbol, & and double inverted comma(). So, if you want to add texts in between cell values or formulas or functions, just separate them using & and double inverted commas. For example in the above formula, first, we have inserted cell B5.

Re: CONCAT Function Not Working Make sure that the cell with the formula is not formatted as Text. Make sure that the Show Formulas button in the Formula Auditing group of the Formulas tab of the ribbon is not highlighted.

All you need is to put the text in double-quotes and join it to the formula using the ampersand operator &.

The formula uses ampersands (&) to combine the values in columns A and B with the text. Also, notice how the quotes don't surround cell B2. They enclose the text that comes before and after the cell. Here's another example of a common task, adding the date to worksheet.
