The logic: Combine the range A3:A10 and the range B3:B10 vertically into a single column The task: Combine two lists of clothing items into a single list of unique inventory items… or in other words, make a single list that shows one of each item that is contained in inventory, by combining two lists With the example / formula shown below, the contents of one entire column will be listed with the formula, before the contents of the second column are listed below it (As opposed to the alternating column method in the next example). Let's say that two different employees counted clothing items in separate parts of your store, and that you want to combine the lists that they return to you into one list/column.īy using the INDIRECT function, the ROW function, and the COUNTIF function, we can create a formula that will stack the contents from one column, on top of the contents of another column. In this example we have two different lists of inventory that we want to combine into one.
ENTERING ARRAY FORMULA IN EXCEL FULL
The full formula will look like this: =CONCAT(A3,B3) Type a comma, and then type the address of the next cell that you want to combine with, such as B2.Type the address of the first cell that you want to combine with, such as A2.To combine the data from cells with the CONCAT formula in Excel, follow these steps: Copy / fill down the formula to use it on the entire column, or change the cell references into range references to turn the formula into an array.
The full formula will look like this: =CONCATENATE(A5,B5) Type a comma, and then type the address of the next cell that you want to combine with, such as B5.Type the address of the first cell that you want to combine with, such as A5.Type =CONCATENATE( to begin your formula.To combine the data from cells by using the CONCATENATE in Excel, follow these steps: However, note that you can also use the CONCAT function to combine cells and even place spaces / characters between those columns, just like we did with the "&" symbol… but the CONCAT function does not work with arrays, and so if you use this to combine columns you will need to use one formula in each cell.
We will be using the CONCATENATE function, which is compatible with arrays, making it easy to combine an entire column with a single formula. We have a list of clothing inventory items in one column, and the clothing size for that item listed in another column… and we want to combine these columns horizontally so that in each row the clothing item and size are displayed as a single text string, in a single column. In this example we are going to do the same thing as in the example above, but we are going to use different data. Using CONCAT or CONCATENATE to merge columns in Excel Remember to hold Ctrl + Shift + Enter to make an array formula, with older versions of Excel. If you do this, curly brackets will appear before and after your formula, like this: (Legacy / CSE Version) The full formula will look like this: =A3:A12&B3:B12 (If you are using an older version of Excel, you will need to hold "Ctrl" and "Shift" on the keyboard before pressing "Enter".
