Rational
Join multiple texts with a delimiter.
Description
The Excel TEXTJOIN function allows to concatenate (join) the text from multiple ranges and/or strings, and with a given delimiter between each text value.
For example, = TEXTJOIN(” ,”,TRUE,”Blue”,”Green”,”White”,”Black”) return ” Blue ,Green ,White ,Black”.
Syntax
=TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, [text2], …)
Parameters
delimiter – Character to specify the boundary between each text value
ignore_empty – If TRUE, ignores empty cells. The default is FALSE
text – Strings to concatenate
Return Value
Return concatenated text.
Key Notes
- The TEXTJOIN function also includes delimiter and ignore empty arguments, unlike the CONCAT function.
- The ignore_empty must have TRUE argument to ignore empty cell otherwise the default is FALSE (return with blank cell).
- We can use ‘&‘ operator to join different text strings but preferable for small strings.
- And, the resulting text should not exceed 32767 characters (cell limit) otherwise it will return the #VALUE! error.
- Introduced in Excel 2016 (Office 365), the TEXTJOIN function is a versatile version of CONCATENATE function.
for example =TEXTJOIN(,TRUE,C11:C14,D11:D12)
