How to combine two columns into one in Excel?

You have asked two questions.

How to Combine two cells. Highlight the cells. Right click on the highlighted area and select Format Cells>Alignment>MergeCells(checkbox).

How to combine text. The answer given is inappropriate for Concatenation. The correct formula is:

=concatenate(a1,b1)

This will combine the text. If you want a space betweend the words you enter the following:

=concatenate(a1," ",b1)

Any number of different characters can be added between the quotation marks to convert it to text.

There's a merge & center tool inside Excel. If you can't find the icon on the tool bar, it looks like a small letter "a" inside a box. The icon is normally next to the align left, align, right, center and justify. you can also move your mouse on top of each tool icon and a tooltip appears giving you the name of each icon.

To use the merge & center tool, you need to select first the cells involved. After they are selected, click the merge & center icon.

Well, you're talking about COLUMNS, so I presume what you meant to say was, cell A1 contains "cat" and cell B1 contains "dog". To concatenate these, put this as the formula for cell C1:

=A1 & B1

you would need to merge the cells not the columns

highlight the cells to merge.

go to the icon with the <-a-> merge and center

if the icon is not on your formatting toolbar go to

Format --> Cells --> Alignment --> Merge Cells

okay that Doesn't work. but that would be the procedure to merge two or more consective cells.

or highlight the two or more cells desired

right click --> format cells-> alignment-> merge cells.

the columns are adjustable to accomodate the text without having to combine them.

RE:

Suppose cell a1 contained text &quot;cat&quot; and cell a2 contained &quot;dog&quot;. I want cell c to contain text &quot;catdog&quot;. How do you do this?

Do what Jerome said but you're gonna have to retype in the "dog" part. Excel will only save the data in the left column....
