Concatenate an array

[Ed]

Hello I guess it might not possible, but I have around 100 columns each with
a single character, I would like to concatenate those into a single cell, is
that possible in ANY way?

thanks

100 columns and how many rows?

This UDF will do the trick but after about 1024 characters in a cell you won't
see the text.

Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim sbuf As String
For Each cell In CellBlock
If Len(cell.text) > 0 Then sbuf = sbuf & cell.text & ","
'remove the & "," if you don't want a comma
Next
ConCatRange = Left(sbuf, Len(sbuf) - 1)
End Function

Usage is: =ConCatRange(A1:CV1)

How many rows in each column?

You can do it with a simple UDF:

======================
Option Explicit

Function Concat(rg As Range) As String
Dim c As Range

For Each c In rg
Concat = Concat & c.Text
Next c

End Function
========================

<alt><F11> opens the VB Editor.

Ensure your project is highlighted in the project explorer window, then
Insert/Module and paste the code above into the module that opens.

On the worksheet, enter =Concat(rg) where rg is the range of cells you wish to
concatenate.
