Concatenation in Excel

This is an Eval Central archive copy, find the original at depictdatastudio.com.

“Concatenation” means pushing things together, chaining things together, or joining things together.

It’s the opposite of pulling apart (techniques like text to columns, textsplit, etc. in Excel).
