6 Steps
This document will teach you how to merge two columns in Excel. You can do this using either the ampersand symbol (&) or the CONCATENATE function. The ampersand symbol is a simple way to combine text from two or more cells. The CONCATENATE function is more powerful and allows you to combine text from multiple cells, including numbers and dates.
