Convert a column into a comma separated list
Assuming your data starts in A1 I would put the following in column B:
B1:
=A1
B2:
=B1&","&A2
You can then paste column B2 down the whole column. The last cell in column B should now be a comma separated list of column A.
- Copy the column in Excel
- Open Word
- "Paste special" as text only
- Select the data in Word (the one that you need to convert to text separated with
,
), press Ctrl-H (Find & replace) - In "Find what" box type
^p
- In "Replace with" box type
,
- Select "Replace all"
If you have Office 365 Excel then you can use TEXTJOIN():
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A:A)
