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], …)

argument Description
delimiter
(required)
A text string, either empty, or one or more characters enclosed by double quotes, or a reference to a valid text string. If a number is supplied, it will be treated as text.
ignore_empty
(required)
If TRUE, ignores empty cells.
text1
(required)
Text item to be joined. A text string, or array of strings, such as a range of cells.
[text2, …]
(optional)
Additional text items to be joined. There can be a maximum of 252 text arguments for the text items, including text1. Each can be a text string, or array of strings, such as a range of cells.

For example, =TEXTJOIN(” “,TRUE, “The”, “sun”, “will”, “come”, “up”, “tomorrow.”) will return The sun will come up tomorrow.

  • If the resulting string exceeds 32767 characters (cell limit), TEXTJOIN returns the #VALUE! error.
