reverse text to columns for .csv import

[milly87]

Hello, I want to reverse the text to columns function, so have the different columns in one again, instead of separated by tab I want them to be separated by commas, for .csv import. Any tips? Many thanks!

Hi

you can use either the Old function "Concatenate" or the new one "Concat"

You can also use the Joining operator of Excel "&" (Shift +7)

= A1&","&B1&","&C1  >> A1,B1,C1

Finally there is another function that allows you to set the delimiter one: it's the TextJoin Function
Here is a Tutorial by Excel Guru Mike Girvin

It looks pretty ugly but does TEXTJOIN meet your requirements? =""""&TEXTJOIN(""",""",FALSE,cells)&""""

Hi again

I created a sample Excel file for you with each one of the 4 functions mentioned in previous reply.

On sheet 2 of the sample file, I used one fifth method , which might be the easiest: it's Flash Fill

Note that:

Concat & TextJoin are available in Office 2019 & Office 365

Flash Fill is available in Office 2013 and later

Hope that helps
