How to merge data from two columns into one

Updated over a week ago

To combine cell contents using the Ampersand (&) symbol, follow these steps:

  1. Select the cell where you want the combined text to appear.

  2. Type = and then click on the first cell you want to combine (e.g., a person's first name).

  3. Add &" "& to insert a space between the names.

  4. Click the second cell you want to combine (e.g., a person's last name) and press Enter.

For example, use the formula =A2&" "&B2 to join a first name in cell A2 with a last name in cell B2.

TIP: To combine text from more than two cells, continue adding &" "& after each cell selection to include spaces between texts. If you prefer not to have spaces, use & alone. For a comma and a space between texts, use &", "&. This method allows you to customize the separators between combined cell contents as needed.
