2. Then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you want to contain this formula, and the cells in the same row have been concatenated by space at once, see screenshot:

Notes:

1. You can also apply this =A2&" "&B2&" "&C2 formula to combine the cells with space.

2. In the above formulas, A2, B2, C2 are the cells that you want to concatenate, if there are more cells needed to be combine, you just add the references after the formula, such as: =CONCATENATE(A2," ",B2," ",C2," ",D2," ",E2).

3. If you want to use other separator after concertation, for instance, use comma to separate, you can change the formula to =CONCATENATE(A2,",",B2,",",C2).
