The JOIN function in Google Sheets is a useful tool for combining data from different cells or columns in a single cell. To use it, start by selecting the cell where you want the combined data to appear. Then, type in the formula “=JOIN(delimiter, range1, range2, …)”, where the delimiter is the character you want to use to separate the combined data, and the ranges are the cells or columns you want to combine. You can include as many ranges as you need, separated by commas. Once you have entered the formula, press enter and the combined data will appear in the selected cell. This function is especially helpful for creating lists or combining data from multiple cells into a single cell.
JOIN function
Concatenates the elements of one or more one-dimensional arrays using a specified delimiter.
Sample Usage
JOIN(" and-a ",{1,2,"1 2 3 4"})
JOIN(",",{1,2,3},{4;5;6})
JOIN("-",A1:A100)
Syntax
JOIN(delimiter, value_or_array1, [value_or_array2, ...])
delimiter– The character or string to place between each concatenated value.delimitermay be specified as blank, e.g.JOIN(,{1,2,3}).
value_or_array1– The value or values to be appended usingdelimiter.value_or_array2, ...– [ OPTIONAL ] – Additional value or array to be appended usingdelimiter.

- When
delimiteris omitted, the result ofJOINis similar to that ofCONCATENATE.
