Hi Guys,

I'm trying to do a concatenate on some data that would base on how many data present on column A (header not included) and column B1-F1 (header not included), I tried recording a macro but unfortunately even though column A is only counts until A16(not fix number and may changes depends on data needed), I needed the cells starting from B2(fix)-F1000(can be change) and then remove the formula after (paste Value only).

The issue is since range was set to B2:F1000, the concatenate did not stop on the last data on column A (A16) and continued until it reach cell 1000.

I wanted a code that if concatenate reach the last data on column A (A16-can be change) will automatically stop there instead.

Sample here: I don't want the cells on yellow

Here is the code I got after recording macro, I changed the range until F1000 since data needed may changes on column A

Sub Concat()

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC1,""-"",R1C)"
Range("B2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B2:F1000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("B2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

I hope someone can help modify this code or if anyone who has a better code instead, this should be the formula use: =CONCATENATE($A2,"-",B$1)
Thank you in advance

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

Hi there

Please test the below and see if it does what you require?

VBA Code: 
Sub Concat()
    ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A$1000),"""",CONCATENATE($A2,""-"",B$1))"
    Range("B2").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B2:F1000").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B2").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
    :=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

You will hopefully find the following useful. They are various ways of finding the bottom of your data.

VBA Code: 
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long

Set sht = ActiveSheet

'Using Find Function (Provided by Bob Ulmas)
  LastRow = sht.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row

'Using SpecialCells Function
  LastRow = sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).row

'Ctrl + Shift + End
  LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row

'Using UsedRange
'  sht.UsedRange 'Refresh UsedRange
  LastRow = sht.UsedRange.Rows(sht.UsedRange.Rows.Count).row

'Using Table Range
  LastRow = sht.ListObjects("SuppTbl").Range.Rows.Count

'Using Named Range
  LastRow = sht.Range("MyNamedRange").Rows.Count

'Ctrl + Shift + Down (Range should be first cell in data set)
  LastRow = sht.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count

Personally, after many years, I tend to use
sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).row, then do a reverse loop (For i = Lastrow to 1 step -1) until a cell isn't blank. It copes with everything users have done.

Hi Sir, it works but the issue is that I need to RUN the macro twice in order for it to work..1st RUN it just shows highlighted cells then if I RUN it again (2nd Run) then everything shows up and good.

Is this normal that I need to RUN it twice before the data appears?

What about
VBA Code: 
Sub Concat()
    With Range("B2:F" & Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row)
        .FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC1,""-"",R1C)"
        .Value = .Value
    End With
End Sub

    .Select
        .FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC1,""-"",R1C)"
        .Value = .Value

Solution
Try this
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub usui_V1()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")   '<< change to suit
   
    With ws.Range("B2:F" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
        .FormulaR1C1 = "=RC1&""-""&R1C"
        .Value = .Value
    End With
End Sub
