TEXTJOIN

TEXTJOIN

Description

Joins a series of text strings into a single text string. You specify a delimiter to add between the text items. TEXTJOIN is similar to the CONCAT function, but TEXTJOIN accepts a delimiter, whereas CONCAT can't.

Syntax

TEXTJOIN(
delimiter
,
ignore_empty
,
text
,[
text2
],...)
  • delimiter
    : A delimiter to be inserted between each text string.
  • ignore_empty
    : A logical value that specifies whether to skip or consider empty cells.
  • text
    : A text string or array of text strings.
  • text2
    : An additional text string or array of text strings.

Notes

  • If you want to join text containing dates, keep in mind that Worksheets stores dates and times as serial numbers; if you enter a date or a time directly into the TEXTJOIN function, the number displays in the resulting text string instead of the formatted date or time. To display the value as a date, use the TEXT function to convert the date or time into a text string first.
