Question

Write two separate formulas using different commands that concatenate " john and "smith" together to form " John Smith"

Answer 1

1. =CONCATENATE(" John"," ","Smith")

2. =(" John"&" "&"Smith")

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two separate strings; "John" and "Smith"

Required

2 separate formulas to concatenate both strings to form " John Smith"

There are several ways to concatenate strings in Microsoft Office Excel; one of the methods is using the concatenate function while the another method is using the traditional & operator.

Using the concatenate function, the formula is as follows

=CONCATENATE(" John"," ","Smith")

This function will combine the " John", " " and "Smith" to give a new string " John Smith" (without the quotes).

Using the traditional & operator may be a little bit difficult (and not frequently used) but the formula is as follows;

=(" John"&" "&"Smith")

The result will be the same as (1) above
