& is the alternate of CONCATENATE() function which is used to combine text
values..

The & symbol is the concatenate operator. It is used for joining two strings
together. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "paul cardarelli" wrote: i am trying to learn the text formulas on excel and have video it used the & in a formula along with quote marks and text not sure why and when to use & |

Use the ampersand (&) to link one value to the next to form a continuous
string. For example, if cell A1 had the value of $50.00 and you wanted to concatenate a text prefix and suffix so it said "The Value of $50.00 is in cell A1." the formula would look like this. ="The Value of "&A1&" is in cell A1." Note that the literal spaces are always within the quotes, and the ampersand joining one value to the next does not have any spacing. Hope this helps. -- Kevin Backmann Dallas, TX "paul cardarelli" wrote: i am trying to learn the text formulas on excel and have video it used the & in a formula along with quote marks and text not sure why and when to use & |
