Add text of cell range in one cell in Excel

Question

I want to concatenate a range of cells into one cell, without macros/vbscript.

The formula CONCATENATE() gets individual cells.

Answer 1

Its not that easy, but I end up with a solution that works wonders!

A1: the text to search

B1:BN: The range within the results would go

B5: The delimiter text

=MID($A$1,LEN(CONCAT($B$1:B1))+COUNTA($B$1:B1)*LEN($B$5)+1,
    SEARCH(
        $B$5,
        $A$1,
        LEN(
           CONCAT($B$1:B1)) + COUNTA($B$1:B1)*LEN($B$5)+1)
           -(LEN(CONCAT($B$1:B1))+COUNTA($B$1:B1)*LEN($B$5)+1))

As for now it works perfect. Note that you can use whatever text as delimiter. In my case it was "comma + space".

Where Concat is a simple function that concatenates a range of cells:

Function Concat(myRange As Range) As String
  Dim r As Range
  Application.Volatile
  For Each r In myRange
    If Len(r.Text) Then
      Concat = Concat & IIf(Concat <> "", "", "") & r.Text
    End If
  Next
End Function
