I was able to create this Macro with the help of @Logit

in this section
' Create the Concatenate Formula and Autofill Formula to the Last Row with Data the concatenate works but it goes down to row 10,000 and I would like the macro to stop the concatenate formula when the cell on the right is empty. Thanks for the help


Code:

    ActiveSheet.Paste

    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Range("D1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Path"
    
[B]  ' Create the Concatenate Formula and Autofill Formula to the Last Row with Data

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
so what you want is to put a variable for last row at the beginning of your code

Code:
Dim lastRow As Long

Then define the variable after you've opened your file. So below the
' Open File from Location, Copy/Paste Data and Insert the Path Column
cluster you will put

Code:
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
replace "a" with the column you want the last row from

Then your bolded area should come out to be
Code:
Range("D2").FormulaR1C1 = _
"=CONCATENATE(RC[1],"" / "",RC[2],"" / "",RC[3],"" / "",RC[4],"" / "",RC[5],"" / "",RC[6],"" / "",RC[7],"" / "",RC[8],"" / "",RC[9],"" / "",RC[10],"" / "",RC[11],"" / "",RC[12],"" / "",RC[13],"" / "",RC[14],"" / "",RC[15])"
Range("D2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("D2:D" & lastRow)

if you're trying to do an array formula with CONCATENATE then you will swap "FormulaR1C1" with regular references and
<code>.FormulaArray</code>
i don't have the time to fully test this out, but let me know if that produces the desired result

Thank you @BlakeSkate

Your code works perfectly.

This is how the code looks:

' Create the Concatenate Formula and Autofill Formula to the Last Row with Data

Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("D2").FormulaR1C1 = _
"=CONCATENATE(RC[1],"" / "",RC[2],"" / "",RC[3],"" / "",RC[4],"" / "",RC[5],"" / "",RC[6],"" / "",RC[7],"" / "",RC[8],"" / "",RC[9],"" / "",RC[10],"" / "",RC[11],"" / "",RC[12],"" / "",RC[13],"" / "",RC[14],"" / "",RC[15])"
Range("D2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("D2:D" & lastRow)

No problem!
Thanks for the feedback.

I would also advise speeding up your code by eliminating selections
you can change things like

Code:
    Columns("B:B").Select
    Selection.columnwidth = 16
    Columns("C:C").Select
    Selection.columnwidth = 11
    Columns("D:D").Select
    Selection.columnwidth = 37

to

Code:
With <code class="lang-vb x-hidden-focus" data-author-content="Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
">Sheets("Sheet1")
.</code>Columns("B:B").columnwidth = 16
<code class="lang-vb x-hidden-focus" data-author-content="Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
">.</code>Columns("C:C").columnwidth = 11
<code class="lang-vb x-hidden-focus" data-author-content="Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
">.</code>Columns("D:D").columnwidth = 37
End With

just change "Sheet1" to your sheet name
