What is how to combine two columns in excel?

You can combine two columns in Excel using several methods:

• Using the & (ampersand) operator: This is the simplest way to concatenate. In a new column, enter a formula like =A1&B1. This will combine the values in cell A1 and B1 into a single value in the new cell. You can add spaces or other characters between the combined values like this: =A1&" "&B1. This adds a space between the values. For more information, look at using ampersand operator.

• Using the CONCATENATE function: This function is designed specifically for joining strings. The syntax is CONCATENATE(text1, [text2], ...) where text1, text2, etc. are the cells or strings you want to combine. For example: =CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1). See using CONCATENATE function for further details.

• Using the TEXTJOIN function (Excel 2016 and later): This is useful if you want to combine multiple columns and specify a delimiter. The syntax is TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, [text2], ...) where delimiter is the character you want to separate the values, ignore_empty is TRUE or FALSE to ignore empty cells, and text1, text2, etc. are the cells or ranges you want to combine. Example: =TEXTJOIN(" ", TRUE, A1:B1). To understand this clearly check using TEXTJOIN function.

After using any of these methods, you can copy the formula down the column to apply it to all the rows. You may then want to copy and paste the values from the new column to another location (using Paste Special -> Values) if you don't want the combined column to be dependent on the original columns.
