Join two or more cell values into one Cell in Excel 2016

In this tutorial you will learn, how to join, combine or merge cell values from two different cells or more than two different cells into one single cell in Excel 2016. There are many ways to combine or merge two cell values into one cell in Excel. In this tutorial I will explain 3 ways that will let you join data from several columns into one without losing data. These are CONCATENATE Function, Custom Formula and Flash Fill.
 
 
A. CONCATENATE Function to Combine Two or More Columns into One:

If you have a data table with "First Name" and "Last Name" like below image and you want a new column where "First Name" and "Last Name" will combine row by row with a space into one, then follow the below steps:

1. In C3 cell enter this formula:
=CONCATENATE(A3," ",B3)
2. Press Enter.


CONCATENATE Function joins the cell values. In this example CONCATENATE Function first joins A3 cell value, then a space between a quotation marks (" ") added a space. And finally joins B3 cell values.


Tips:
CONCATENATE Function cannot join more than 255 Cells. If you want to join more than 255 cells, then you can use Ampersand and Quotation Mark (&""&).


B. Combine two or more columns by using Ampersand and Quotation Mark Formula:

As you have just informed that, CONCATENATE Function unable to join more than 255 cell values, you can use Ampersand and Quotation formula. Not only for joining more than 255 cell values, you can use it always. To know how to combine two columns by using Ampersand and Quotation Mark formula on the same above data table, follow the below steps:

1. In C3 cell type this formula:
=A3&" "&B3
2. Press Enter.


This will join the cell values of "First Name" and "Last Name" with a space in C3 cell. You can use this formula (&""&) more than 255 times.


C. Combine two or more columns by using Flash Fill:
 
You can combine two or more columns by using Flash Fill feature in Excel 2016. This is very simple to use. To know how, follow the below steps:

1. In C3 cell first type a "First Name", for example: Zakir
2. Press a Spacebar.
3. Then type a "Last Name" of the same row. for example: Hossain
4. Press Enter. So C3 cell contains "Zakir Hossain".
5. Now Select C3:C11.
6. Click on Data | Flash Fill


 
Tips:
If you want to get the result quickly, then use "CTRL + E" or "ALT + A + F + F" Keyboard Shortcut Key.
