Joining Text From Different Cells In Excel
Joining text from different cells
There are many times in Excel when you want to join text that's in different cells. This example is very common, where you have first and last names, and want to combine them as first name, last name, or full name. Fortunately, Excel lets us do that with the Ampersand (&) sign, which you can enter with Shift+7.
1. In cell E3, enter =D3&C3 to join the last and first names.
2. SmithNancy doesn't look quite right though. We need to add a comma and space. To do that we'll use quotes to create a new text string. This time, enter =D3&", "&C3. The 8","& portion lets us join a comma and space with the text in the cells.
3. To create the full name, well join first and last name, but use a space without a comma. In F3, enter =C3&8" "&D3.
