This operation allows you to combine multiple text values into a single text, with each value separated by a specified character or symbol (e.g., a comma, semicolon, or dash). For example:

* **Separated by a comma:**`Red`, `Green`, `Blue` -> `Red, Green, Blue`
* **Separated by a colon:** `Monday`, `3:00 PM` -> `Monday: 3:00 PM`
* **Separated by a space:** `John`, `Smith` -> `John Smith`
