MCONCAT
Hi All,
I have a list of hand typed subjects in column B2 thru B20 I use MCONCAT to group them into cell B1 I now have the need to bring in the subjects via VLOOKUP. Obviously, MCONCAT will not group formulas. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help in advance. |

MCONCAT
I think MConcat( ) may be a user-defined function. As far as I know, it is
not an Excel 2003 or earlier function. That said, if you put the subjects into Col C and 'mconcat' both columns, will it do what you want? -- Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

If the formulas return strings, you could certainly use MCONCAT. --ron |

MCONCAT
Ron,
What is MConCat? I can't find it in the list of functions for 2003. Is it new to 2007? -- Hope to hear from you soon.

It could be a function in Laurent Longre's addin (morefunc.xll) at:

Obviously, MCONCAT will not group formulas. Any suggestions? First, presumably you mean the MCONCAT function from Laurent Longre's MOREFUNC.XLL add-in. Unclear what your VLOOKUP calls are like or what they'd return. If your VLOOKUP calls return the values from a 19 row by 1 column range, you could replace them with a single INDEX(..,MATCH(..)) call, then use that as the argument to MCONCAT. If you need more details, PROVIDE MORE DETAILS FIRST. |

MCONCAT
Thanks Dave. That makes sense.
I'd written one like that called ConcatenateALL but I like MConcat better. Easier to type :O Have a good one. -- Sincerely, Gary Brown "Dave Peterson" wrote: It could be a function in Laurent Longre's addin (morefunc.xll) at: http://xcell05.free.fr/ http://xcell05.free.fr/morefunc/english/mconcat.htm Gary Brown wrote: Ron, What is MConCat?

SYNTAX : =MCONCAT(Array,Separators) - Array : range or array. All data types are supported. - Separators (string, optional) : one or more characters separating the items in the concatenated string. MCONCAT concatenates the items from left to right and from top to bottom. For instance, =MCONCAT(A1:C3) returns the same string as =A1&B1&C1&A2&B2&C2&A3&B3&C3. EXAMPLES : The range "PL" (5 rows * 4 columns) containing the integers 1 to 20 : =MCONCAT(PL) returns "1234567891011121314151617181920" =MCONCAT(PL," ") returns "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20" --ron |
