An UDF for Concatenate Function

Nov 03, 2023aijatiw Yes, you can create a VBA function but my question is why complicate it that much?
You could easily just have a column C with the below formula:
="Student with name "&A2&" is now on year "&B2
You can drag this formula down as many rows as you need. No need to be "typing the formula over & over again".
- aijatiwNov 03, 2023Copper ContributorI'm sorry I think that I make myself unclear, because what I want is instead of typing =C35&C31&C36&D27, I want it to type =result(C31,D27) and it show the same result, so I was thinking how to put the "student with name " and "is now in year " like embedded on the sheet? I'm sorry if this confuses you I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
Because I need it to become as dynamic as possible. I will be dealing with more column and the result is not only to concatenate a row then drag it down,- DeletedNov 03, 2023
aijatiw Sure thing. I still wouldn't use VBA, you can just add two additional columns for your inputs:
The formula will now be =C2&" "&A2&" "&D2&" "&B2
If you're really, really desperate for a VBA solution I could look into it but honestly it's overkill for a simple task as this.
- aijatiwNov 03, 2023Copper ContributorThank you for you dedication to my problem.
Maybe I need to elaborate more clearly what I am trying to achieve. Here is a new image

I have this fruit, qty and a when column. Then, I will share this excel file to other people, What I want to do is that they can get different result based on what cells or combination that they like.
How to do that? And also the data for each column are fixed but the result should be vary.
