What is the main advantage of TEXTJOIN over CONCAT? - It allows a delimiter to be included. - It allows numbers to be included. - It allows multiple cells to be included. - It automatically formats the text appropriately.
It allows a delimiter to be included.
Sandra Dee is working with a very large spreadsheet and wants to combine the salutation with names (e.g., turn the three cells "Mr. ", "John ", and "Smith " into one cell saying Mr. John Smith). Why is CONCATENATE preferable over Merge? Merge only works on empty cells; CONCATENATE works on any cell. Merge creates larger cells; CONCATENATE combines into a regular sized cell. Merge only works on numbers; CONCATENATE works on anything. Merge adds a space between each string; CONCATENATE doesn't.
Merge creates larger cells; CONCATENATE combines into a regular sized cell.
Lamar is planning to concatenate the following data: "Jane", "Doe", ",", "born 1971" He'd like the final result to read "Jane Doe, born 1971" exactly. Will the CONCATENATE function work as he intends? - Yes, he'll get the result he wants. - No, Excel can't concatenate numbers. - No, Excel can't concatenate punctuation. - No, CONCATENATE won't include spaces.
No, CONCATENATE won't include spaces.
Crystal has a database of book titles, but the capitalization is off on many of them (e.g., some have the first TWo LEtters of a word capitalized, some have no capitalization, some are in all caps, etc.). Why can't she just apply a single PROPER function to the data to create a "fixed" copy? - PROPER will capitalize EVERY word (including "a" or "and," for example). - PROPER will only capitalize the first word of each cell. - PROPER will capitalize EVERY letter. - PROPER won't work on the ALL CAPS titles.
PROPER will capitalize EVERY word (including "a" or "and," for example).
Cecilia has a series of first, last, and middle names she wants to combine into a single cell. However, some cells are missing data (e.g., there's no middle name for many rows). Which command will BEST suit her needs? CONCAT CONCATENATE TEXTJOIN MERGE

Greg has a large spreadsheet of data collected by many workers. Because so many people worked on it, capitalization is inconsistent, and some cells are empty. Greg asks an Excel expert if he can just apply a function to change the data directly in his spreadsheet to a uniform capitalization theme. What is the limitation of using UPPER, LOWER, or PROPER to meet his request? - These functions create new data, they don't change the existing data. - These functions can't easily be applied to large amounts of data. - These functions won't work well on data with inconsistent capitalization. - The functions won't work on ranges that have empty cells
These functions create new data, they don't change the existing data
