Concatenate a row that is selected and include blank cells
 

Can this neat little snippet be altered to work on a row of selected cells AND include the blanks?

Works fine as is with =ConcatMe("A1:Z1") but omits any blanks.

I may want only A1:G1 including the blank cells if any. =ConcatMe('Selection')

Thanks,
Howard

Option Explicit

Function ConcatMe(Rng As Range) As String

Dim cl As Range

ConcatMe = ""

For Each cl In Rng
ConcatMe = ConcatMe & cl.Text
Next cl

End Function

Well, drat! I should have seen this before I posted.
I want to select a variable range of cells in a row and while selected run this little macro.

Sub ConCatAK_15()
Range("AK15").Formula = "=ConcatMe(A1:H1)"
End Sub

So AK15 would then be =ConcatMe(what I selected)

I don't know what to Dim and set as the selection...?
Dim xxx as Selection and then Range("AK15").Formula = "=ConcatMe(xxx)"

if you want to concatenate A and activecell.row: H and Activecell.row
try:
Sub ConcatMe()
Dim rngC As Range
With ActiveCell
For Each rngC In Range(Cells(.Row, 1), Cells(.Row, 8))
[AK15] = [AK15] & rngC.Text
Next
End With
End Sub

if you only want to concatenate your selected cells try:

Sub ConcatMe2()
Dim rngC As Range

For Each rngC In Selection
[AK15] = [AK15] & rngC.Text
Next
End Sub

This second one is what I had in mind. I struggled with a macro that did similar to what you posted EXCEPT it returned everything in reverse and would not include the blank cells. What I will use this for is single common words where there will be no blanks, but also on proper names like Henry the Eighth or Henry Wadsworth Longfellow or King Tut.

K i n g T u t so will need to include the blank/space cell.

if there is a space in a selected cell it will be shown in AK15. But if
the cell is blank you have to insert a space. Try:
Sub ConcatMe2()
Dim rngC As Range

For Each rngC In Selection
If Len(rngC) = 0 Then
[AK15] = [AK15] & " "
Else
[AK15] = [AK15] & rngC.Text
End If
Next
End Sub

you can shorten the IF-Statement:

Sub ConcatMe()
Dim rngC As Range

[AK15].Clear
For Each rngC In Selection
[AK15] = IIf(Len(rngC) = 0, [AK15] & " ", [AK15] & rngC.Text)
Next
End Sub
