I have 300 names written in A1,B1,C1,D1 and so on...
I want them in one cell, each name separated by comma.
I have tried a lot to automate the concatenate function & ,but in vain.Seems dragging cells and such stuff would not work.
Any tips?Thanks
Try this tiny macro:
Sub KonKat()
stt = Cells(1, 1).Value
For i = 2 To 300
stt = stt & ", " & Cells(1, i).Value
Next i
Cells(2, 1).Value = stt
End Sub
The result will be placed in cell A2

Can anyone solve this?
Sub test
Dim i as integer
For I = 1 to 10
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=Sum(E15,&i&)"
Next I
End Sub
your actual goal is unclear
you may want to start form this code
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
cells(i, 4).Formula = "=Sum(E" & i & ":E15)"
Next
End Sub
and adjust it to your needs, knowing that:
it currently writes in cells "D1:D10"
since cells(i, 4) references a cell in 4th column (i.e.: column "D") 4 and i row, and we're inside a loop where i is looping through 1 to 10
so if:
you want to reference a different column then just change 4 to the proper column index
you want to reference a different row then just change i to the proper row index (may be some i+2 if you need to iterate through 1 to 10 but start writing from row 3)
the formula written in those cells is:
=SUM(E1:E15) in D1,
=SUM(E2:E15) in D2,
....
=SUM(E10:E15) in D10.
so just change "=Sum(E" & i & ":E15)" to your actual needs
You're close, trying to use ampersands (&) to concatenate strings.
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=Sum(E15," & i & ")"
Use the ampersands between strings to merge them, not inside strings.

I need to combine multiple cells in a column in one cell.
Data is present in Column A:
0100
0800
ABCD
LMKQ
.
.
.
and so on
Cell B2 should have the below value:
'0100', '0800', 'ABCD', 'LMKQ'.... and so on
My code identifies all the data but populates just the data in last cell:
Sub concatMyData()
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(2, "B").Value = "'" & Cells(i, "A").Value & " '" & Cells(i + 1, "A").Value & "'"
Next i
End Sub
Check this:
Sub concatMyData()
Dim first As Boolean
first = True
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
If Not first Then Cells(2, "B").Value = Cells(2, "B").Value & ", "
Cells(2, "B").Value = Cells(2, "B").Value & "'" & Cells(i, "A").Value & "'"
first = False
Next i
End Sub
You can do this with one line of code and not have to loop (much MUCH faster):
Range("B2").Formula = "'" & join(application.transpose(Range("A2:A" & range("A" & rows.count).end(xlup).row)),"', '") & "'"
I assumed you have a header in A1 so started on A2, you can change it to A1 if you wish.
I noticed you asked for an explanation on the other answer so:
Egan's code will loop through each cell in column A and add it to what is currently in cell B2. So it basically adds to B2 the value of what cell it is up in in column A and a ', 'each time it loops until it runs out of data in column A. It also puts a ' on the start and end.
My code will take the range and transpose it into an array (the data goes down, an array goes sideways so we transpose it), then it will join the array of values into a single string. We do this using the JOIN function and we specify ', ' as what it should put between each element of the array (the delimiter).
Then we simply add a ' on the start and the end as it won't have it there to begin with and voila, one string of joined values without looping.
They effectively do the same thing, mine just does it in one go rather than a cell at a time.
I've just created a brand new macro. Took function down below from internet (all credits goes to trumpexcel.com), code down below
Function CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Ref As Range, Separator As String) As String
Dim Cell As Range
Dim Result As String
For Each Cell In Ref
Result = Result & Cell.Value & Separator
Next Cell
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE = Left(Result, Len(Result) - 1)
End Function
Then I proceed to extract data from various columns and into the one (my table is 20 rows x 10 columns)
Sub conact_data()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(i, "M").Value = Cells(i, "A").Value & " " & _
Cells(i, "B").Value & " / " & Cells(i, "D").Value & "; "
Next i
End Sub
Thanks to that I've got combined data from column A, B and D, so its 20 rows. All I want to do now is to concatenate data from M2:M21 using CONCATENATEMULTIPLE function therefore I try various approach (I want this huge line in P2 cell) like :
Cells(2, 16).Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")
or
Range("P2") = "CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")"
I don't really know how to apply that
Secondly, I'd like withdraw the Cells(i, "B").Value as percentage. Can I do that in one line like Cells(i, "B").NumberFormat="0.00%".Value (which is not working for me obviously) else I need to copy column B into another column with number format and then combine the new column, properly formatted instead of column B?
Thanks in advance
Percent format: Range("B" & i).NumberFormat = "0.00%"
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE
In VBA, CHR(32) = " "
In Excel, CHAR(32) = " "
With that being said...
'Value
Range("P2").Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Range("M2:M21"), CHR(32))
'Formula
Range("P2").Formula = "=CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(M2:M21, CHAR(32))"
You should really qualify all of your ranges with a worksheet
Say your workbook has 10 sheets. When you say Range("P2"), how do we (VBE) know what sheet you mean? Objects need to be properly qualified. Sometimes this is not a huge issue, but when you are working across multiple sheets, not qualifying ranges can lead to some unexpected results.
You can qualify with a worksheet a few ways.
Directly: ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("P2").Copy
Or use a variable like so
Dim ws as Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.Range("P2").Copy
Now there is no room for ambiguity (potential errors) as to the exact location of Range("P2")
First of all, remove your ConcatenateMultiple() code, and instead use Excel worksheet function CONCAT(), which takes a range and a delimiter as parameters.
Here is how you can handle the percentage issue and supply a default for non-numeric items. I've also cleaned up the way you reference your data range.
Sub concat_data()
Dim rngRow As Range, vResult As Variant
Const DEFAULT = 0 'Can also be set to a text value, eg. "Missing"
For Each rngRow In [A2].CurrentRegion.Rows
If IsNumeric(rngRow.Cells(, 4)) Then vResult = rngRow.Cells(, 4) * 100 & "%" Else vResult = DEFAULT
Range("M" & rngRow.Row) = rngRow.Cells(, 1) & rngRow.Cells(, 2) & "/" & vResult & ";"
Next
[M2].End(xlDown).Offset(1).Formula = "=CONCAT(M2:M" & [M2].End(xlDown).Row & ",TRUE,"" "")"
End Sub
I'm not a fan of hard-coding range references, like the [A2] or Range("M"), but will leave that for another time.
