Combine values from different cells with a space

This tutorial shows how to concatenate values from different cells into one cell separated by a single space using Excel formulas, with the CONCATENATE function and & sign

EXCEL FORMULA 1. Combine values from different cells with a space using CONCATENATE function

EXCEL

Combine values from different cells with a space

=CONCATENATE(B5," ",B6," ",B7," ",B8," ")
GENERIC FORMULA

=CONCATENATE(value1," ",value2," ",...)

ARGUMENTS
value1: The first value that you want to concatenate
value2: The second value that you want to concatenate

EXPLANATION

This formula uses the CONCATENATE function with the value that you want to combine. The use of two double quotation marks with a space between them inserts a blank space between the selected values.

In this example the formula combines the values captured in cells B5 to B8 in the same order that they have been selected in the formula. The use of two double quotation marks, with a space between them, returns a space between each of the selected values.

EXCEL FORMULA 2. Combine values from different cells with a space using & sign

EXCEL

Combine values from different cells with a space

=B5&B6&B7&B8
GENERIC FORMULA

=value1&" "&value2&" "&...

ARGUMENTS
value1: The first value that you want to concatenate
value2: The second value that you want to concatenate

EXPLANATION

This formula uses the & sign to combine the values from different cells. The use of two double quotation marks with a space between them inserts a blank space between the selected values.

In this example the formula combines the values captured in cells B5 to B8 in the same order that they have been selected in the formula. The use of two double quotation marks, with a space between them, returns a space between each of the selected values.
