    What do you mean by combine? Text or numbers? What are you looking for the result to be?

        If you have data in A1 to A10    and B1 to B10   then in C1 type = A1&B1 then copy this formula down.

      There are ways to combine data from two cells into one cell. But, I am unable to find a way to combine the data from two entire columns.

      The Merge and Center option on the Excel ribbon loses data.
