This is actually a two-part question. While I have been using Excel for many, many years, I am new to the macro world. First, I'm building a spreadsheet that consolidates texts to one cell and I'm using a command button to copy that text. The code I'm using in the button click to copy the text is below. Is there any code that would be "better?" I ask this because, while this works, I know there is always a more efficient way or code that has less "overhead."

Sub Button1_Click()

Range("A1").Copy

End Sub


The second part is, there is another section of the workbook where I want to click a button and the text from several cells are copied. While I know I can use the code above with the range being something like "Range("A1:A4")," how would I copy text from several cells that are not sequential and I want to put a semicolon with a space between each cell I copied "; ". For example, if A1 had john@gmail.com, B4 had suzy@hotmail.com, and C7 had larry@outlook.com, click button1 would copy the three cells with a format like "john@gmail.com; suzy@hotmail.com**;** larry@outlook.com**"**

Thank you!

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Re part 2. How are the cells that you will join determined?
Predetermined eg as A1, B4, C7. ?
Selected at runtime ?
Something else ?
