Excel Function: Textjoin

TEXTJOIN function

The 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.


Syntax

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.

Remarks

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

why spring onions sold in UK withers very quickly upon regrowing in water

Image
  The spring onions (also called salad onions or scallions in the UK) you buy in supermarkets are not meant to live long-term — they’re essentially “cut-and-come-again” crops that have been forced to grow very quickly in perfect commercial conditions. When you try to regrow them at home in a jar of water, the leaves often collapse and wither quite dramatically (exactly like in your photo). Here’s why this happens in the UK (and elsewhere): 1. They’ve already used up most of their energy Supermarket spring onions are harvested when the bulb is still tiny. Almost all the stored energy is in the small white base, and the green leaves are very long and thin. Once cut from the field, that tiny bulb has to support those huge leaves withering leaves with no photosynthesis happening (because they were often stored in the dark). By the time you get them home, the bulb is already running on fumes. 2. UK supermarket varieties are chosen for shelf-life, not re-growability The varieties...
