Grouping email addresses in different cells into one cell

I have forgotten how to grab email addresses populated in different cells, to group them in one cell and separating them by semi-colon (;). I'd be grateful for a reminder on how to do this.

Thanks!

RE: Grouping email addresses in different cells into one cell

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your post. Here is a possible solution:

Say your email addresses are in column A:
A
--------------------
1 alice@example.com
2 bob@example.com
3 charlie@example.com
4 dave@example.com

Set cell B1 to =A1
A B
-------------------- ---------------------
1 alice@example.com alice@example.com
2 bob@example.com
3 charlie@example.com
4 dave@example.com

Now set cell B2 to =B1 & ";" & A2
A B
-------------------- ---------------------
1 alice@example.com alice@example.com
2 bob@example.com alice@example.com;bob@example.com
3 charlie@example.com
4 dave@example.com

Now fill down cell B2
A B
-------------------- ---------------------
1 alice@example.com alice@example.com
2 bob@example.com alice@example.com;bob@example.com
3 charlie@example.com alice@example.com;bob@example.com;charlie@example.com
4 dave@example.com
alice@example.com;bob@example.com;charlie@example.com;dave@example.com

Keep filling down to the end of your list of emails.

The last cell in column B will contain all the email addresses with semicolons inbetween.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Manually rotating a 3D chart

To manually rotate a 3D chart;
Select the chart (edit mode) and click on one corner of the chart display area. A selection border will appear, using the left mouse button on one of the chart's "corners" (mouse pointer changes to a cross) drag the image which becomes a line representation of the chart (as you begin to drag) and rotate the chart to a view of your choice.
If you dont get it right first time, dont worry, the manoeuver is a little bit tricky.
