Let's say you want to create a single Full Name column by combining two other columns, First Name and Last Name. To combine first and last names, use the CONCATENATE function or the ampersand (&) operator.
Important:In Excel 2016, Excel Mobile, and Excel for the web, this function has been replaced with the CONCAT function.

This is because CONCATENATE may not be available in future versions of Excel.
