How to Concatenate Different Fonts in Excel – 2 Methods

Method 1 – Use the Cells.Value Property in VBA to Join Different Fonts

Launching Excel's Visual Basic Editor

  • Go to the Developer tab >> select Visual Basic. You can also press Alt + F11.

Inserting Module in the VBA window

  • In the VBA window, select Module in Insert.

Entering the VBA code in Module 1 and pressing Run

  • Enter the code in the new module.
  • Click Run.
Sub mergeFONT()
For k = 5 To 15
Cells(k, 4).Value = Cells(k, 2).Value & " " & Cells(k, 3).Value
For i = 1 To Cells(k, 2).Characters.Count
Cells(k, 4).Characters(i, 1).Font.Name = Cells(k, 2).Characters(i, 1).Font.Name
Next
For i = 1 To Cells(k, 3).Characters.Count
Cells(k, 4).Characters(Cells(k, 2).Characters.Count + i + 1, 1).Font.Name = Cells(k, 3).Characters(i, 1).Font.Name
Next
Next k
End Sub

Cells(5, 4).Value refers to the value of the cells in the 5th row and the 4th column. Cells(k, 4).Value is in a loop in which k varies from 5 to 15 and indicates all cells in the Full Name column. This VBA code concatenates cells and restores original font styles.
