Concatenate Two Columns Of Text
Dec 25, 2008
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 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 10111213
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.

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.

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

3 A3
The function should result in

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

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
Next

I cant quite get this, I have 4 cells in one row (a selection and can be any row), I need to string the values together and add some simple text.
Example:
Assume row 1 and columns A, B, C, D.
496 | 6d7 | Minor | Ø.375 +/-.010
What I need this to read as one long string:
#496, 6d7, Minor, Ø.375 +/-.010
Adding the text in Red.
Column A may be a single digit or up to 10 digits in length. Once the string is configured I want to copy it and manually paste in another application. If the string is placed any where else in the worksheet for formatting, it can be deleted after the copy/paste or macro end.

I have a time in cell C10 in hh:mm format, in cell D10 I want to add the text "DFL" in front of the time, remove the ":" and add "HRS." at the end of it. For example "DFL0715HRS." I have been able to get the following formula to work:
=CONCATENATE("DFL",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm")),"HRS.")
However sometimes it may not be a time, it could also be "Rest Day" in cell C10, if it says "Rest Day" I need it to add the text "DFL" in front as before and then change "Rest Day" to "RDFLEXI." For example "DFLRDFLEXI." I have been able to get the following formula to work but only if it is "Rest Day", if it is a time such as 07:15 it doesn't work.
It shows "DFL07157R0.": =CONCATENATE("DFL",IF(C10="Rest Day","RDFLEXI.",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm"&"HRS."))))
I think it is trying to continue doing something with the text function

I am trying to figure out how to Concatenate a group of cells if they contain a certain text. Basically I have a list of Architects in column A and the account name in column B... and I want to say Concatenate column A, IF column B=Specific Account (ex: Coca-Cola). The list will be added to frequently so the formula must refer to the entire columns, not just a certain range.
As of right now, only the first architect associated with each account will appear. I have attached a workbook with the example..

I am trying to get a complete list of applications per device. I have the device list but it is broken down into seperate lines so i would like some sort of formula (not fussed what type as long as it gets the desired results!) that will look in column A and if the text is the same, to concatenate the info in column b, separated by a comma. So for the first device (4d713006) i would get 1 cell that would have the list of all 52 applications in it separated by a formula. This is so i can vlookup the device name from another sheet and pull through all the list of applications.
I have attached the data : example.xlsx‎
