What is TEXTJOIN function in Excel?

TEXTJOIN function is one of TEXT functions in Microsoft Office Excel that

TEXTJOIN function combines the text from multiple ranges and/or strings, and includes a delimiter you specify between each text value that will be combined. If the delimiter is an empty text string, this function will effectively concatenate the ranges.

Note: This feature is available on Windows or Mac if you have Office 2019, or if you have an Office 365 subscription. If you are an Office 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.

Syntax of TEXTJOIN function

TEXTJOIN(delimiter, ignore_empty, text1, [text2], …)
