You cannot concatenate a range of cells using the Excel CONCATENATE
function.

Either =CONCATENATE(K2,L2,M2) etc. or =K2&L2&M2 etc.

or a User Defined Function

Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String
Dim Cell As Range
Dim sbuf As String
For Each Cell In CellBlock
If Len(Cell.text) 0 Then sbuf = sbuf & Cell.text & " "
' the " " returns space-delimited text
Next
ConCatRange = Left(sbuf, Len(sbuf) - 1)
End Function

Usage is: =ConCatRange(K2:KZ2)

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros/functions, see David McRitchie's
site for more on "getting started".

Im still stuck on trying to concatenate a wide range of cells. I tried the
formula
=concatrange(K2:KZ2)
but get the following:
#NAME?

When I try to search help for concatrange, nothing comes up, only
concatenate.

Could you clarify more for me please? Thank you.

I'm highlighting two cells in the same row, hitting format cells, alignment,
merge cells and I'm getting the error message, "The selection contains
multiple data values. Merging into one cell will keep the upper-left most
data only." I want to be able to make the two seperate cells one without
deleting anything and without having to cut and paste.
