Default Combining Columns (Bracketing Text)

I have a need to combine two columns, which I can do using the features from
PUP 6. What I would like to know how to do before I combine the columns, if
any of the cells in one column, (bracket) that information before combining

Think you left something out of your statement

If any of the cells in one column ? ? ?,

Also, What do you mean by bracket?

Do you want to indicate missing values by putting brackets in the string

"AAA" & "()"

If you physically want to put in the brackets

Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
set rng = Intersect(Range("A:B"),Activesheet.UsedRange)
On Error Resume Next
set rng1 = rng.Specialcells(xlBlanks)
On error goto 0
if not rng1 is nothing then
rng1.Value = "()"
End if
