Multiple string concatenation in Excel

+6
−0

In Excel I would like to concatenate several strings into one.

I could type and fill in the blanks CONCATENATE(A1, A2, ....) but it is a lot of work

This would be cool, but it does not work CONCATENATE(A1:A255)

In Office 365 and Excel 2019 there is a TEXTJOIN:

=TEXTJOIN(",",,A1:A10)

which can be written into the cell where the output is required.

Assumes A1:A10 has been populated to suit.
