For example you have a row of names as below screenshot shown, and you need to concatenate this row into one cell and separate cell contents with comma or space. You can apply the CONCATENATE function as follows:

1. Select a blank cell you will place the concatenation result in, and enter the formula =CONCATENATE(B1:J1&",") into it.

2. Highlight the B1:J1&"," in the formula and press F9 key to replace cell references with cell contents.

3. Remove the curly braces { and } from the formula, and press the Enter key. See screenshot:

Note: In above formula, B1:J1 is the row you will concatenate, and "," means you will separate each cell content by comma. For separating by space, please replace the "," with “ “ in the formula.

Batch combine multiple cells/rows/columns without losing data and date/number format in Excel

Normally when merging cells with the Merge feature in Excel, it will remove all cell contents except the first cell content. However, with Kutools for Excel's Combine (Rows & Columns)utility, you can easily batch combine multiple cells/rows/columns without losing data. What's more, this utility also supports remaining original date format and number formats in the combination results.

Supposing you have a column of names as below screenshot shown, you can also apply the CONCATENATE function to combine this column/list into one cell and separate each cell content by comma or space in Excel.

1. Select a blank cell you will place the concatenation result in, and enter the formula =CONCATENATE(TRANSPOSE(A2:A16)&",") into it.

2. Highlight the TRANSPOSE(A2:A16)&"," in the formula, and press the F9 key to replace cell reference with cell contents.

3. Remove curly braces { and } from the formula, and press the Enter key. See above screenshot:

Note: In above formula, A2:A16 is the column/list you will concatenate, and "," means you will separate each cell content by comma. For separating by space, please replace the "," with “ “ in the formula.
