CONCATENATE (deprecated, use CONCAT) Formula Syntax

=CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1)

Example Use Case

Combining multiple text strings into one (deprecated, use CONCAT)

Understanding the CONCATENATE Formula

The CONCATENATE function in Excel joins multiple text strings into one, a classic tool for merging data—like combining first and last names. It’s deprecated in newer Excel versions, replaced by CONCAT, but still works in older ones.

CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1) with 'John' and 'Doe' returns 'John Doe'. It takes multiple arguments (up to 255), stitching them together—simple but less flexible than modern alternatives like CONCAT or &.

Why Use CONCATENATE?

CONCATENATE builds strings—think labels or full addresses. Though outdated, it’s a reliable fallback for legacy files, offering a clear way to merge text without spaces unless specified.

Example with Sample Data

InputsFormulaResult
'John', ' ', 'Doe'=CONCATENATE("John", " ", "Doe")John Doe
'A', '1'=CONCATENATE("A", "1")A1
'Hi', '-', 'there'=CONCATENATE("Hi", "-", "there")Hi-there

CONCATENATE joins: 'John Doe', 'A1'. It’s a text stitcher (but use CONCAT now).
