About This Feature

Overview

The CONCATENATE function in WPS Multi-Dimensional Tables is used to combine multiple text strings into one result. It can be added in a formula field, used together with other functions, and updated automatically after the formula is saved.

Core tasks include:

Create a formula field and enter a CONCATENATE formula.
Fill in multiple arguments with the correct function syntax.
Use a sample formula and check whether the result updates with data changes.

Capability Summary	Use CONCATENATE in a formula field in WPS Multi-Dimensional Tables to combine multiple text strings into one result, with support for combining it with other functions.	Excel provides the CONCATENATE text function to join two or more text items into one string, and newer versions also provide CONCAT.	Google Sheets provides the CONCATENATE function to append multiple strings in sequence and also supports range references.	Notion database formulas support text operations with properties and can combine text with operators such as `+` and functions such as `join()`, but this is not a cell-based spreadsheet function.	Acrobat mainly provides calculation options for PDF form fields and does not provide a spreadsheet CONCATENATE function.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can complete text joining directly in a formula field in WPS Multi-Dimensional Tables. Distinct: Results refresh with record data changes after the formula is saved.	Compared with WPS: Excel places the comparable capability in worksheet cell formulas, with compatibility notes that focus on traditional spreadsheets.	Compared with WPS: Sheets also supports text joining, but the common usage is centered on online spreadsheet cells.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more oriented to database property formulas than spreadsheet-style function editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form calculations rather than spreadsheet text-function workflows.

Overall Conclusion
If your work focuses on field-level calculations and text joining inside a multi-dimensional table, WPS provides a direct formula-field workflow with results that update as record data changes. Microsoft and Google provide stronger documentation around traditional spreadsheet functions, while Notion and Adobe are better aligned with database or PDF form scenarios.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main challenge	How it helps
1	Combine name fields	Table maintainers	First and last names are stored separately	Use CONCATENATE to join multiple text fields into one full name
2	Build descriptive text	Project collaborators	Fixed text needs to be combined with field values	Join text constants and field content in a formula field
3	Create label content	Data organizers	Multiple columns need to be merged into one label field	Use CONCATENATE to combine results from several fields
4	Work with other functions	Advanced users	One function alone is not enough for the output	Nest CONCATENATE with other functions
5	Show updated results after import	Data entry teams	Display fields need to refresh after data changes	Formula fields calculate and display updated results automatically
