How to Combine Columns in Google Sheets

To combine columns in Google Sheets, you can use various functions such as CONCATENATE, CONCAT, or the "&" operator. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

CONCATENATE Function

1. Open your Google Sheets document.
2. Click on the cell where you want the combined data to appear.
3. Type the following formula:

=CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1)

4. Replace "A1" and "B1" with the cell references you want to combine. You can also add a delimiter (like a space or a comma) between the cell references to separate the combined data.
5. Press Enter to apply the formula.

Example:

=CONCATENATE(A2, ", ", B2)

CONCAT Function

1. Open your Google Sheets document.
2. Click on the cell where you want the combined data to appear.
3. Type the following formula:

=CONCAT(A1, " ", B1)

4. Replace "A1" and "B1" with the cell references you want to combine. You can also add a delimiter (like a space or a comma) between the cell references to separate the combined data.
5. Press Enter to apply the formula.

Example:

=CONCAT(A2, ", ", B2)

Using the "&" Operator

1. Open your Google Sheets document.
2. Click on the cell where you want the combined data to appear.
3. Type the following formula:

=A1 & " " & B1

4. Replace "A1" and "B1" with the cell references you want to combine. You can also add a delimiter (like a space or a comma) between the cell references to separate the combined data.
5. Press Enter to apply the formula.

Example:

=A2 & ", " & B2

Remember that you can also use these formulas to combine data from more than two columns. Simply add more cell references and delimiters as needed in the formula.
