Copy and Paste function
 

Good day!

I need a formula that I can use to take values in one row but different
columns and merge them together into one line with the pipe symbol (|)
separating the column values, for example:

Column:
A B C D E F

100 141 154 160 175 182

Becomes
Column
A B C D E F
100|141|154|160|175|185

I have been using the "&" function, but I can't seem to get the formula right.

Thank you - is there anyway I can do this without typing the individual cell
addresses? Perhaps by autofilling a command that you know of?

You can use this UDF which ignores blank cells in the selected range.

Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String
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:F32)

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros/functions, see David McRitchie's site
for more on "getting started".

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.
