Default "&" in Excel formula

It joins two values.

For example
=A1&" is the number"
when A1=8 would result in:

8 is the number

hi
it is a concatenator or combiner
the formaula = concatenate(A1,B1) and =A1 & B1 are the same basicly.
both combine the contents of a1 and b1( not add)
if 1 were in a1 and 1 were in b1 then =A1&B1 would equal 11 not 2
