Concatenate column/row/cells into one cell with comma, space, line break

For example you have a row of names as below screenshot shown, and you need to concatenate this row into one cell and separate cell contents with comma or space. You can apply the CONCATENATE function as follows:

1. Select a blank cell you will place the concatenation result in, and enter the following formula into it.

=CONCATENATE(B1:J1&",")

2. Highlight the B1:J1&"," in the formula and press "F9" key to replace cell references with cell contents.

3. Remove the curly braces { and } from the formula, and press the "Enter" key. See screenshot:

Note: In above formula, B1:J1 is the row you will concatenate, and "," means you will separate each cell content by comma. For separating by space, please replace the "," with " " in the formula.

Supposing you have a column of names as below screenshot shown, you can also apply the CONCATENATE function to combine this column/list into one cell and separate each cell content by comma or space in Excel.

1. Select a blank cell you will place the concatenation result in, and enter the formula into it.

=CONCATENATE(TRANSPOSE(A2:A16)&",")

2. Highlight the TRANSPOSE(A2:A16)&"," in the formula, and press the "F9" key to replace cell reference with cell contents.

3. Remove curly braces { and } from the formula, and press the "Enter" key. See above screenshot:

Note: In above formula, A2:A16 is the column/list you will concatenate, and "," means you will separate each cell content by comma. For separating by space, please replace the "," with " " in the formula.
