I'm attempting to display in a cell a concatenated list of items that
match in an array. Here is an example: Data: A B 1 Bob Chicken 2 Sally Steak 3 Bob Salad 4 Susan Salad 5 Bob Soda And for the lookup: A B 1 Bob Chicken Salad Soda 2 Sally Steak 3 Susan Salad Column B of the lookup is the portion I'm focusing on here. Originally, i was able to successfully do this using MCONCAT from the morefunc addon. This worked great, except I am sending this spreadsheet to others that do not have this addon installed, and it isn't reasonable to ask them to install it, so I attempted to change it to the aconcat UDF from Harlan Grove: Function ACONCAT(a As Variant, Optional sep As String = "") As String ' Harlan Grove, Mar 2002 Dim y As Variant If TypeOf a Is Range Then For Each y In a.Cells ACONCAT = ACONCAT & y.Value & sep Next y ElseIf IsArray(a) Then For Each y In a ACONCAT = ACONCAT & y & sep Next y Else ACONCAT = ACONCAT & a & sep End If ACONCAT = Left(ACONCAT, Len(ACONCAT) - Len(sep)) End Function This results in a #NAME error. I can't seem to figure out why. I've grabbed screenshots of the error: Before Eval: http://imagebin.ca/view/L0mxlr8.html Step 1 of Eval: http://imagebin.ca/view/ev1f3A1.html I placed this in 'Module1' at first, then tried placing it in a sheet module. I'm not sure what else to check. This is my first attempt at a UDF, so I appreciate any insight. I'm using Excel 2007 (as are many of the folks that will be viewing the document), but am saving in Excel 2003 for compatibility. |
