Copy and Paste cells limitation
I need some help with Excel. I have a worksheet with over 1,000 rows. I
want to copy one column, which contains a value format like 1234-567, and transpose the values to a row. I cant use the traditional copy-and-paste special transpose because there are too many cells across. Once I have a row, I need to make it into one long string where each value is separated by commas. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried to transpose my column in chunks, into rows, and then copying into Word, but Word brings over the borders so it displays as a table which I dont want. And I dont know how to add the comma separators. Thanks for any help you can provide. |

Hi Villy
Try the below macro which will create a .csv file from the column data..Adjust the range A1:A100 to suit your requirement. If you are new to macros.. --Set the Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security). --From workbook launch VBE using short-key Alt+F11. --From menu 'Insert' a module and paste the below code. --Get back to Workbook. --Run macro from Tools|Macro|Run <selected macro() Sub Macro() Dim intFile As Integer Dim rngTemp As Range Set rngTemp = Range("A1:A100") intFile = FreeFile Open "c:\temp.csv" For Output As #intFile Print #intFile, Join(WorksheetFunction.Transpose(rngTemp), ",") Close #intFile End Sub If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Villy" wrote: I need some help with Excel.

Leave your data in that column (assume column A, starting with A1).
Put this formula in B1: =TEXT(A1,"0000-000") Then in B2 you can put this formula: =B1&", "&TEXT(A2,"0000-000") and then copy this down to the bottom of the data in column A. A quick way of doing this is to select B2, and then double-click on the fill handle (the small black square in the bottom right hand corner of the cursor). The combined data that you want will be in the bottom cell of column B. Select that cell, click <copy, then right-click and choose Paste Special | Values (check) | OK then <Esc. Then you could move that cell to another more-convenient location at the top of your sheet. You can get rid of all the other formulae in column B above that cell. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I assumed you wanted a comma and space between the values. If
you only want a comma, then the formula in B2 should be: =B1&","&TEXT(A2,"0000-000") Hope this helps.

Copy this UDF to a general module in your workbook.
Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String 'for non-contiguous cells =ccr((a1:a10,c4,c6,e1:e5)) Dim Cell As Range Dim sbuf As String For Each Cell In CellBlock If Len(Cell.text) 0 Then sbuf = sbuf & Cell.text & "," Next ConCatRange = Left(sbuf, Len(sbuf) - 1) End Function Usage is: =concatrange(A1:A1000) Then copy/paste specialValues Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 8 Sep 2009 10:54:08 -0700, Villy wrote: I need some help with Excel.
