    Is there a way to combine to text cells together without adding a new cell

    Hi, I am new to excel and stuck trying to find we way a could combine two text cells together ie Add "|Discount" to the "Category_url" column.

    I have created on a sample workbook but our real one has over 500 different rows in the "Category_url" column and from time to time we have to add certain product to the "discount" category so adding "discount" too each row would be very time consuming.

    Creating a 4th column would not work either and the workbook will be saved to a csv file and upload to a database.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    Here's a suggestion :
    1. In column C, type "|Discount" in the rows you need to modify
    2. In column D, type the formula = B1 & C1 and copy down
    3. Copy column D to column C, values only
    4. Delete C and D

    (Make a backup copy first if you need to get your category_url back without the "|Discount"
    GC Excel
