How To Use
- Open your Excel workbook.
- In your desired cell, type the following formula:
=CONCATENATERANGE(delimiter, ignore_empty, use_formats, range1, [range2], …)
Note: Excel may not show this formula, because it is custom. However, if you type it, it will work correctly.
The arguments of the formula are as follows:
delimiter:
An optional text string that will separate the concatenated items. For example, a comma (,).
ignore_empty:
If TRUE (the default), empty cells are ignored.
use_formats:
If TRUE, the result will be formatted (e.g. a currency value of “1” will display as $1.00, etc).
If FALSE (the default), no formatting is applied.
range1:
Cell range to be joined (e.g. A1:B2).
[range2, …]:
Additional cell ranges to be joined (e.g. D3), if desired.
