    "Auto" Concatenate

    Hi Guys,

    I;m pretty sure I;ve seen this done before. I use the concatenate function like this:
    =A4&", "&A5

    however, this list i have to concatenate is getting to 40+cells, is there any way to automatically select a list to concatenate or anything.

    i have a column of over 40 cells, no set number as it's different lists all the time, and need them all to appear like: word, word, word,

    Is there any way to do this?

    Thanks!

    If you download the free addin from here: http://xcell05.free.fr/english/

    you can use the MConcat() function for that.

    e..g =Mconcat(A1:A10,", ")

    will concatenate cells A1 to A10 separated by a comma and space.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi, thanks for that code, i was scared to try as i'm not very good with macro's so just been doing it the old fashioned way.

    However i got to the end of my tether and gave it a go and hey presto! the best timesaver for me so far!

    This link is no longer good - can you post an example of this UDF?

    I googled for "MCONCAT UDF", which resulted in references to ACONCAT, which led to the following:
