» Joining text using formula in Microsoft Excel

Much like writing a formula to join text, as described, the Concatenate function allows you to merge values from multiple cells into a single cell.
In a formula, you create a space between words by pressing the Spacebar.
In the second box in sample figure, pressing the Spacebar will automatically add the quotation marks when you move to the next box.

Joining Text from different colums
taylor reaume  Posted on: 31-12-1969
Greetings,

I am trying to see if there is a way to join two different colums of text into on colum? I am trying to populate my web store with these products from my distributor. One colum has the product name such a ARG12 and then the second colum has "noimage.gif" but I changed "noimage.gif" to just ".gif" now if i could only find a way to merge or joing these two colums, then the image names would all be easily imported (there over 2000) and having to manually type a ".gif" after each one would take forever...There must be a way to merge two colums of text? or a way to easily do this so that i end up with ARG12.gif in one colum?

Anyone?
Thanks,

The easiest way to do this is in a new column enter the formula =a1&".gif"
Copy the formula down to the end of the range.
When finished copy and paste special_values
You now have the value from column A and the suffix.gif in text
