Are you familiar with User Defined Functions? I believe the function below would do what you are after.

Function PeriodString(PeriodStart As Integer, PeriodEnd As Integer, Factor As String)

Dim i As Integer

If i = PeriodEnd Then
PeriodString = PeriodString & i & "|" & Factor
Else
PeriodString = PeriodString & i & "|" & Factor & ";"
End If

Next i

End Function

Alas, I do not, I tend to jump right to a VBA solution, usually a lot easier to read/work with for me than a bunch of nested built in functions. Sorry.
