    Creating a list from range of cells

    Hi, I have a column of cells, each containing a text value.

    I want to put all those value into the same cell, separated by commas.

    Concatenate won't do it, as it smushes all the words together into a long strong of gobbledygook.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Easiest formula way to do it is putting this in B2, assuming your list begins in A1: =A1&", "&A2, and then, in B3: =B2&", "&A3 copied down as needed. The last cell would have the result you're looking for.
