We sometime comes with the challenge to join multiple text in Excel. The first thing that comes into our mind is to use the CONCATENATE Function. The major challenge in using this function that we cannot select a continuous Range such as CONCATENATE(A1:A10). To get the result we need to specify all the cells individually.

To do this quickly and smartly, we can use TRANSPOSE with CONCATENATE Function. Below are the steps for doing this. Let say the cells you want to combine are in A1:A10.

1. In a blank cell, where you want to concatenate all the values type =CONCATENATE(TRANSPOSE(A1:A10))
2. Don’t press enter yet.
3. Select the TRANSPOSE(A1:A10) portion and press F9. This replaces the TRANSPOSE(A1:A10) with its result.
4. Now remove curly brackets { and }
5. Press Enter
