Use a simple UDF like this:

Function Concatall(rng As Range) As String
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In rng
Concatall = Concatall & cell.Text
Next
End Function

....

Or generalize,


Function mcat(ParamArray s()) As String

'string concatenation analog to SUM
Dim r As Range, x As Variant, y As Variant

For Each x In s
If TypeOf x Is Range Then
For Each r In x.Cells
mcat = mcat & r.Value
Next r
ElseIf IsArray(x) Then
For Each y In x
mcat = mcat & IIf(IsArray(y), mcat(y), y)
Next y
Else
mcat = mcat & x
End If
Next x
End Function


which allows expressions like

=mcat("hi",(A1:A4,A6:D6,C2),"foo",A7:F9)
