Default combining two text columns into one

Yes. However, if the sample data is representative, there is only one entry
per row. If a space is added to the result, this could screw up any
subsequent lookups or conditional comparisons.

Perhaps the best solution that would satisfy the most possibilities:
=TRIM(A1&" "&B1)

Or
=A1&" "&B1
if you want a space between the contents of the two source cells.
