Combine Cell Text Solved/Closed

Question

Hi,
    I am after an easy way to combine text in several rows into one cell.
The number of rows that need combining will vary from 2- 10
(Would be easier if the client who supplies the spreadsheet would learn how to use more than 1 line in a cell).

Column A is a date which is merged over several rows
Column B is over several rows and will vary
Column C is the result required.

Any assistance will be appreciated

Hi Ad1959,

The easiest way would be to use a vba code:
Sub RunMe()
Dim fRow, lRow As Integer
Dim cValue

lRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
fRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Do
    For Each cell In Range(Cells(fRow, "B"), Cells(lRow, "B"))
        cValue = cValue & cell.Value & "-"
    Next cell
    
    cValue = Left(cValue, Len(cValue) - 1)
    Range("C" & fRow).Value = cValue
    
    lRow = fRow - 1
    fRow = Range("A" & fRow).End(xlUp).Row
    
    cValue = vbNullString
Loop Until fRow = 1

End Sub

To implement:
Alt+F11 to open VBA window, go to top menu Insert > Module. Paste code in the big white field. Close window. Back at the Excel screen Alt+F8 to display available codes and double click RunMe.

Save before running the code, so you can reload your file when you don't like the result.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hello,

You can use the Concatenate function in Excel. Use the function below in the destination cell, then add the columns you want to concatenate.


=CONCATENATE(Column1, Column2, etc)
