Help:Consolidation

[capnsean]

I have a large amount of data in several columns that I would like to put into one in the following manner:

A1=x
B1=y
C1=z

I want to consolidate x y and z with commas in one cell = x,y,z


Thanks for the help!

=a1&","&b1&","&c1

if a1, b1 or c1 could be empty and you don't want x,,z, then this'll work, too:

=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1&" "&B1&" "&C1)," ",",")

One way:

=A1 & "," & B1 & "," & C1

to do this with an entire column with a User Defined Function:

or to use a macro to concatenate in place:
