[[esql-mv_concat]]
=== `MV_CONCAT`
Converts a multivalued string field into a single valued field containing the
concatenation of all values separated by a delimiter:

[source.merge.styled,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=mv_concat]
----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=mv_concat-result]
|===

If you want to concat non-string fields call <<esql-to_string>> on them first:

[source.merge.styled,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=mv_concat-to_string]
----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/string.csv-spec[tag=mv_concat-to_string-result]
