An UDF for Concatenate Function
Hello I was wondering whether it is possible to achieve this result using VBA/UDF? https://ibb.co/2yn729f Basically what I wanted to do is to be able to concatenate various string fr...
I'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,

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.
- Thank 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.Cartesian_product？
select * from basic_Cartesian_product;
with a as(select f01 from basic_Cartesian_product where f01<>''),
b as (select f02 from basic_Cartesian_product where f02<>''),
c as(select f03 from basic_Cartesian_product where f03<>''),
d as (select f04 from basic_Cartesian_product where f04<>'')
select f01||' '||f03||f02||' '||f04 result from a,b,c,d;
f01 f02 f03 f04
student with name is now on year Mike 1 Donna 2 Lula Naomi Luca result
student with name Mikeis now on year 1 student with name Mikeis now on year 2 student with name Donnais now on year 1 student with name Donnais now on year 2 student with name Lulais now on year 1 student with name Lulais now on year 2 student with name Naomiis now on year 1 student with name Naomiis now on year 2 student with name Lucais now on year 1 student with name Lucais now on year 2 - No problems.
So it still sounds like the same solution as I mentioned in my first reply but it sounds like you want to add drop down lists where people can select which Fruit, Qty and When option - and then the result will be a combination of those 3?
If that's the case, you need to create Data Validation lists for those three and then link the result in the same way as in my first reply. Just Google how to create Data Validation lists in Excel.
If you're still stuck, let us know.
