The word concatenate is just another way of saying "to combine" or "to join together". The CONCATENATE function allows you to combine text from different cells into one cell. In our example, we can use it to combine the text in column A and column B to create a combined name in a new column.

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.

The concatenation Excel function always returns value as a text string even if numbers are being combined. Excel concatenate function uses individual cell references since it doesn't recognize arrays. This means you will have to write =concatenate(C4, C5, C6) instead of =concatenate(C4:C6).

The concatenation of two or more numbers is the number formed by concatenating their numerals. For example, the concatenation of 1, 234, and 5678 is 12345678. The value of the result depends on the numeric base, which is typically understood from context.

: to link together in a series or chain.

There should be at least one “text” argument in the CONCATENATE function for it to work. If the CONCATENATE function's arguments are invalid, the formula returns a #VALUE! Error. The result of the CONCATENATE function is always a text string, even when all the source values are numbers.

The ampersand (&) calculation operator lets you join text items without having to use a function. For example, =A1 & B1 returns the same value as =CONCATENATE(A1,B1). In many cases, using the ampersand operator is quicker and simpler than using CONCATENATE to create strings.

In other words, concatenation in Excel is the process of joining two or more values together. This method is often used to combine a few pieces of text that reside in different cells (technically, these are called text strings or simply strings) or insert a formula-calculated value in the middle of some text.
