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:

Closing Multiple Workbooks quickly

When you have several workbooks open in Excel and want to just close them all at once:

1) Hold down the SHIFT key before selecting the File menu.

2) Once in File menu release SHIFT key and select Close All option.

3) All your files will close. If files require saving Excel will ask if you want to save the changes.
