๐ก EXCEL TIP OF THE DAY ๐ก
Still using "&" or "CONCATENATE()" over and over to combine text?
There's a better way! ๐
Use TEXTJOIN to combine multiple cells with a delimiter while keeping your formulas cleaner and easier to maintain.
โ
Combine names, emails, departments, and addresses
โ
Automatically ignore blank cells
โ
Create dynamic reports with less effort
โ
Make your formulas easier to read
Example:
๐ Formula:
=TEXTJOIN(" - ", TRUE, A2, B2, C2)
Result:
John Smith - Finance
Small Excel tips like this can save hours when working with large datasets and reports.
๐ฅท Your Excel Ninja Tip:
Set the ignore_empty argument to TRUE so Excel automatically skips blank cells.

Stop using merged cells in your reports and dashboards! ๐ซ
While merged cells may look nice, they can cause problems when:
โ Sorting data
โ Filtering tables
โ Using Power Query
โ Creating Pivot Tables
โ Copying formulas
Instead, use **"Center Across Selection"**.
Here's how:
1๏ธโฃ Select the cells you want to span
2๏ธโฃ Press Ctrl + 1
3๏ธโฃ Go to Alignment
4๏ธโฃ Under Horizontal, choose **Center Across Selection**
โ
Looks like a merged cell
โ
Keeps your data structure intact
โ
Works better with Excel tools
Small Excel habits can make a huge difference when your files grow larger and more complex.
