Concatenate text can also be achieved using the & symbol. Concatenation works best when
combined with other functions like upper, proper, left, and right.
Note: When you join two strings, Excel does not insert a space or any punctuation between the
two. You must do it by inserting between the two strings, as shown above, or by replacing
that space with a hyphen or other punctuation. The quotation marks are required.

When you type a time into a cell in Excel, the underlying value is a fraction, but Excel interprets
this as a time serial number and formats the cell accordingly. You can calculate this fraction for
any time value during the day by taking the total number of seconds that have passed from
midnight until your time value and dividing by 86,400 seconds in a day.
When time and dates are combined, they show up as a serial number with a decimal point. For
example: 42446.50 is noon on March 17, 2016.
