... Why should a user have to specify: =Concatenate(A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3) ? Why not simply: =Concatenate(A1:B3) ? This would make it *so* much easier to abstract away certain changes, to reverse operations such as "text-to-columns", and to avoid making errors. I've had to concatenate a series of more than 20 cells before, and it really gets tedious after only the 3rd one. If I had to insert a column or row to the concatenation, I had to update the function again, and if I made a mistake it was hard to detect, etc etc. Are you happy for Excel to guess whether when you said (A1:B3) you intended (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3) or (A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3)? -- David Biddulph |
