Help combining cells till blank

Posted by Gibo on January 31, 2002 5:32 AM

Hello all,

I am having a problem with a little project I am working on. I have a single Column i.e.

text_string_here
text_string_here (these 3 need to be one cell)
text_string_here

text_string_here (these 2 need to be one cell)
text_string_here

text_string_here
text_string_here
text_string_here

what I need is a Command / macro that would look down the list until a blank cell is found and CONCATENATE the contents into a single cell then start the next group of cells.

I think that should be clear enough. Sorry for being so thick but I am new to this kind of stuff...

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Gibo

Hey Gibo,

do you mean that you want the existing column to be merged or do you want the three text strings concatenated in a different column ?

You could probably achieve either by recording a macro and being very very careful switching between absolute and relative modes, but I imagine the VBA experts could come up with a dog's b*ll*cks solution that is much quicker and more elegant
