2. In cell A2, enter the text Get the Most out of Excel!
3. In cell A3, enter the text The Ultimate Excel Tip Help Guide.
4. In cell A5, type the formula:
=A1&" "&A2&" "&A3

Technique 2: Using the Concatenate Formula

To combine text use the Concatenate formula:
The Concatenate formula is in the Text category in the Insert Function dialog box. To add a blank character between words, press Spacebar in the second and fourth argument box.
