How to Use the TEXTJOIN Function in Excel (Smart Text Merging)

TEXTJOIN() helps you merge text from multiple cells into one, using a delimiter of your choice. It’s more powerful and flexible than CONCATENATE.

🔹 Syntax:

=TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, [text2], ...)

✅ Example:

=TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, A2, B2, C2)

This combines the values from cells A2, B2, and C2 using a comma and space, skipping any empty cells.

📊 Use Cases:

• Create full names from first, middle, and last names
• Build address lines from multiple fields
• List multiple tags, skills, or items in one cell

💡 Pro Tip:

TEXTJOIN supports dynamic ranges — great for automation in reports or dashboards.
