Joining Description and Style in Excel

How can you join the Description and Style from the Catalog worksheet in Excel? In Excel, you can join the 'Description' and 'Style' from the 'Catalog' worksheet by using the CONCATENATE function or the '&' operator. This allows you to combine the text from two different cells into one, with the desired format.

Using CONCATENATE function:

Step 1: Identify the cell references of the 'Description' and 'Style' in the 'Catalog' worksheet.

Step 2: In the cell where you want to combine the text (e.g., cell B4 in the 'Q1 Sales' worksheet), enter the formula '=CONCATENATE('Catalog'!A1, ' - ', 'Catalog'!B1)'

Step 3: Press Enter to see the combined text with a hyphen and a space separating the 'Description' and 'Style'.

Using '&' operator:

Step 1: Follow Step 1 above to identify the cell references of the 'Description' and 'Style'.

Step 2: In the desired cell, enter the formula ='Catalog'!A1 & ' - ' & 'Catalog'!B1

Step 3: Press Enter to see the same result as using the CONCATENATE function.

By following either of these methods, you can easily join the 'Description' and 'Style' from the 'Catalog' worksheet in Excel. This is particularly helpful when you need to combine text from multiple cells or worksheets for better organization and presentation of data.
