The CONCATENATE function in Google Sheets allows you to combine the data from multiple cells into one cell. This function is useful when you need to join text from two or more cells, or when you want to combine text with numbers or dates. Here's how to use the CONCATENATE function:

  1. Click on the cell where you want to display the combined data.
  2. Type the following formula into the cell: =CONCATENATE(cell1, cell2, ...)
  3. Replace cell1, cell2, etc. with the cell references you want to combine.
  4. Press Enter.

For example, if you want to combine the data from cells A1 and B1 into cell C1, you would type the following formula into cell C1: =CONCATENATE(A1, B1). This will display the combined data in cell C1.

You can also use the ampersand (&) operator to concatenate data in Google Sheets. For example, the formula =A1&B1 will produce the same result as the =CONCATENATE(A1, B1) formula.
