About This Feature

Overview

TEXTJOIN is a built-in spreadsheet function in WPS Office for Windows that combines multiple strings, cells, or ranges into one text result with a delimiter you choose.

Core capabilities include:

Joining multiple text values: Combine multiple strings or cell contents into one result.
Using a custom delimiter: Insert a space, comma, or other separator between values.
Working with ranges and nested calculations: Support cross-sheet references, with results updating when source data changes.

It fits common spreadsheet and sheets tasks such as combining names and IDs, creating delimited lists, and merging text from multiple columns.

It helps reduce repetitive manual text assembly and keeps output formatting consistent in batch data work.

A practical advantage is that when you type the function in the formula bar, you can view syntax prompts and follow the parameter order more easily.

Capability Summary	In WPS Sheets, TEXTJOIN can combine multiple strings, cells, or ranges, and lets you set a delimiter and ignore empty values.	Excel provides the TEXTJOIN function to combine text from multiple ranges and/or strings with a delimiter.	Google Sheets provides TEXTJOIN to combine text from multiple strings and/or arrays with a specified delimiter and an ignore-empty option.	Notion formulas support `join()` to combine list values into text with a separator, but this is a database formula workflow rather than a spreadsheet cell function.	Adobe Acrobat Sign focuses on document and form fields for collecting recipient data, and its official field guide does not describe a spreadsheet-style TEXTJOIN cell function.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can type `=TEXTJOIN(` directly in a spreadsheet cell and follow syntax prompts in a familiar spreadsheet workflow; it also supports cross-sheet references and nested calculations for everyday text combination work.	Compared with WPS: It offers a directly comparable spreadsheet function for Excel workbooks.	Compared with WPS: It offers a directly comparable function syntax in a browser-based spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: It can join list values, but the workflow is based on database formulas instead of direct spreadsheet cell formulas.

Use Cases

#	Scenario	Target Users	Core Pain Point	Solution
1	Combine name or address fields	Admin staff, sales teams, support teams	Multiple text columns need to be merged into one output column	Use TEXTJOIN to combine multiple cells with a space or comma
2	Create delimited lists	Data coordinators	Multiple items need a consistent display format	Use TEXTJOIN with a fixed delimiter to generate the result
3	Handle data with blank cells	Spreadsheet maintainers	Blank values can break the output format	Set the formula to ignore empty values and reduce extra delimiters
4	Merge text across sheets	Finance and operations teams	Data is spread across different worksheets	Reference another worksheet range inside TEXTJOIN
5	Build results with other formulas	Advanced spreadsheet users	One function alone may not complete a more complex output	Nest TEXTJOIN with other formulas
