Excel's CONCATENATE function - what does it do?

Excel's Concatenate function is used to join several text items into one item.

If cell A1 contains Michael and cell B1 contains Gurner
=concatenate(A1,B1)
Would return MichaelGurner.

To add spaces or other characters between entries, simply enclose them between speech marks (and separate each entry with commas).

In the same example,
=concatenate (A1," ",B1)
would return Michael Gurner
