Concatenate 2 Columns & Delete Orginal Columns
Sep 25, 2007
I had wanted to go through my spreadsheet and concatenate two columns (A & B)into one (A) then delete the duplicate column (B), but have found no way to do that. Now I am trying to search then insert a column prior to the other two, concatenate the data into the new column then delete the columns. I am specifically having a problem with my Range statement and can't figure out how to activate it or discern it after using the Find command.
Sub GroupGender()
Cells.Find(What:="Group", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
With Range("a1", Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
.Offset(0, 0) = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC[2]"
.Offset(0, 2) = .Offset(4, 2).Value
End With
Cells.Select
Selection.Replace What:="Group Sex", Replacement:="Grp/Sx", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
Range("A1").Select.......................

I have the below set of data for example,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
I need the output as,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
As we know, a simple concatenate will work. But my columns are not limited and not easily countable. In my real scenario for some of the rows, data exist from column "A" till column "IB". So, I need to first identify the column data exist in each row and then to implement the concatenate function.

2050377 ($20,000)105
I have a spreadsheet with 3 columns. when I'm reimbursed money (see 2050377 for ($20,000) i'm trying to use VLOOKUP to search the spreadsheet and find out the invoice that relates to that reimbursement. but as you can see VLOOKUP finds the first incidence of 2050377 and gives me inv no 105 when it should be 10111213. my formula in C8 is =VLOOKUP (A8,$A$1:$C$8,3) but I need for the VLOOKUP to look at the item number as well as the amount. i've been told that I need to utilise concatenate, but I don't know how to do this.

In Excel 2007 I want to concatenate two columns of text. In Column A all the cells contain a single statement that I want to prefix the statements in the cells of column B (the statements in column B differ from cell to cell) I have used the formula =A1&" "&B1 and this is fine for that row, when I use the fill handle and pull it down the page the formula changes accordingly i.e.=A2&" "&B2, =A3&" "&B3 etc. But when I make the text appear using control+ I only get the concatenation of the first row repeated all the way down, irrespective of the contents of other cells in Column B.

I have a series of data in 2 columns...say A and B...that I want to concatinate into a string of data...i.e A1&A2&B1&B2&C1&C2 etc etc....
Can I include this in a macro so that it will continue to concatinate the data until it gets to the end of the list (i.e a blank cell) ?

I need a simple macro to take a list of words in 1 column, and concatenate them with each word from another column
So if Column A had "bird"
and Column B had
food
feeder
house
the output would be
bird food
bird feeder
bird house
I will have many many more words than just "bird" though.

Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.
VB:
Public Sub DelRows2()
Dim Cel As Range, searchStr, FirstCell As String
Dim searchRange As Range, DeleteRange As Range

I've searched quite a few times for Concatenating Multiple Columns and ones for Concatenating with Spaces.
I've found solutions that say use
=concatenate(A1, " ", B1)
or the VBA equivalent
I have at least 15-20 columns which I wish to concatenate.
Is there an easier way than to type for all 15 columns?
=concatenate(A1," ", B1," ", C1,....)
Also, the number of columns of each row vary

Is there an easy way to concatenate two columns and provide every possible combination?
E.g.,
A B
1 A1 B1
2 A2 B2
3 A3
The function should result in
C
1 A1B1
2 A1B2
3 A2B1
4 A2B2
5 A3B1
6 A3B2

I have a worksheet with 10000 plus entries in ten columns From K to T. I wish to have a macro with Concatenate function to merge certain Columns from these ten columns, in one column with help of input boxes which may ask inputs, about range (from and to ), and number of digits to concatenate in the required column. I use Excel 2003 XP in work but an example is 2007 attached.

I have a list of names with blank cells in Column A cell 2.
I want the programme to scroll through this column until it finds a name, when it does I want it to look in cell offset(1, 1), in this case B3 to see if there is a number. I want this number to be moved to offset (0, 1) AND any subsequent numbers below it until the next blank cell in that column (B).
In the attached image cell B2 will contain all numbers in cells B3:B9 with a / between them. Cell B10 will have number from B11 and B12 will have B13:B15. If there is no number it will just continue to the next name in column A. My rough code below delivered the first number only in the relevant cell and I'm not clever enough to get it right. It does not have to be super slick as it's for one time use.
I need numbers in column B cleared as they are concatenated into the single cell.

How do I create a code that will concatenate the number in Column B, C and D into Column E for each row within each worksheet of the file, excluding the "Update" worksheet. If there is no number is each column of the row, then do not produce a record for that row in column E. Start executing function on row 2.
eg E2=b2&c2&d2=047, E3=b3&c3&d3=964, E4 cell is empty, because there is no record in b4, c4 and d4

I am creating an excel file for a mail merge following this process. I need to take the three columns below and enter the path to the corresponding chart. I have all the charts created in a directory. The naming convention for all of the files is XX-XX-XX.gif. The X's represent the numbers below without the decimal places. Therefore the example below would be 44-43-27.gif. Is there anyway to create a formula to drag down instead of entering the filename's manually? In the end, I want to have the full file path as shown in the XLS.
q_3_abc q_3_teamq_3_yscore
4.4 4.3 2.7
I have 700+ rows to do this for, therefore I want a formula or VBA solution instead of the manual donkey work.

I have a marco that works perfects to Concatenate (join) all of the cells in Column A. However, I want to seperately join all of the cells in each column. So I wanted to the Concatenate of Column B to go in B1, Column C to go in C1, etc (or until there is no data in a column). I think there is a way to change this into a loop, but I don't know how. Below is the macro I have now.
Sub ConcatenateAll()
Dim x As String, rng As Range, cel As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set rng = .Range("A2:A300")
For Each cel In rng
x = x & cel.Value
Next
.Range("A1").Value = x
End With
End Sub

I think I just need a basic Nested For Loop code. I have a list of in column A, from A1:A537 and another list in column B, for B1:B50. I want to add a column that concatenates, each item in Column A to B1 (so 537 rows), then again each item in Column A to B2, another 537 rows, etc.. this loop is repeated 50 times, one for each name in column B.

I have the following situation and I'm trying to do this using a PC with Excel 2007.
I would like this:
T
N
O
O
C
O
E
I
M
I
T
[Code] ........
To look like this:
T
H
A
N
K
[Code] .........
This procedure will become part of a macro. The number of rows will vary but the number of columns will be the same (11 columns). I don't care too much about the order since I can later sort. As long as the data from all columns in now in one column.

I need for it do perform the same action on multiple rows/ cells of data. What adjustment to the code needs to be performed to do so?
Sub fconcat()
Range("C1").Value = Range("A1").Value & Range("B1").Value
For i = 1 To Range("A1").Characters.Count
Range("C1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name = Range("A1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name
Next
For i = 1 To Range("B1").Characters.Count
Range("C1").Characters(Range("A1").Characters.Count + i, 1).Font.Name = Range("B1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name

I have two sets of two columns which contain numbers as text with trailing spaces and I want to concatenate column A and B and concatenate column F and G, and then compare them, and sumif value in column I if they are the same - giving the answer in the same row as the matching data in column A and B.. but in column J.
I’ve seen sum product and haven’t been able to get it to work at all. I have been adding the trim() function in around the column references to see if that would work but am failing…
A = 2000 text
B = 1234 text
F = 2000 trailing spaces, text
G = 1234 trailing spaces, text
I = 10,000
Answer in column J
I want 20001234 = 20001234 = 10,000 for the whole column.
I don't want to change the original data as its externally sourced and used for other links etc.. This would save a few hours a week if i ( more correctly, you ) could get this to work.

I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth

I'm prompting the user for what two ranges they want to keep in a excel sheet and then I want to delete the rest of the columns. There may be 5 total columns and there may be 30, it will vary. The reason I want to do this is because I will then save data to CSV file and it can only have two columns of data to be passed on for other data processing.

I'm looking for the correct way of deleting columns based on if row 2 has an x in it..
I have two versions that I tried but I am pretty sure there are faster ways of doing it, I don't quite know how to delete all the columns at once.
[Code] ......
The first version doesn't work for some reason and the second column works but is a slow loop, what to do to make this faster?

I use a macro to copy some data from a .csv file. The data is copied to columns A to H (starting from row 31), the number of rows filled depends on the particular case and is not fixed. The first column gets filled with the serial numbers. the problem is that in the last row cells of columns B to H contain three dashes (---).
I have written a simple code that finds the last filled cells in column A. After having found this row, I would like to clear the cells or delete them. the below mentioned simple code does finds the last filled row but I am not able to find a command to delete or clear the cells of this row.
