This post will guide you how to combine multiple cells in a row or column into one cell with a specified character, such as: comma, hash, space, semicolon and so on. How to achieve it? And this post will let you learn two ways to combine or merge range of cells in a row or column into one cell in excel.

Combining multiple cells into one with hash character using excel formula

Assuming that you want to combine a range of cells within a row, such as: A1:A3. You can use the concatenation operator to create an excel formula to merge multiple cells in a row into one cell with a specified character hash sign.

You can enter the following formula into a blank cell, such as: D1 and then press Enter key to apply this formula.

=A1&"#"&B1&"#"&C1

Of course, if you want to combine range of cells (A1:A3) in a column into one cell (A4), then you can try to enter the below formula into Cell A4, and then press Enter key to apply this formula.

=A1&"#"&A2&"#"&A3

Combining multiple cells into one with hash character using VBA User defined function

You can also write a User Defined Function in excel VBA to merge the range of cells in a row or column into one cell.

1# open your excel workbook and then click on “Visual Basic” command under DEVELOPER Tab, or just press “ALT+F11” shortcut.

2# then the “Visual Basic Editor” window will appear.

3# click “Insert” ->”Module” to create a new module

4# paste the below VBA code into the code window. Then clicking “Save” button.

Function CombineCellsIntoOneWithSpace(sourceRange As Excel.Range) As String
    Dim finalValue As String
    Dim cell As Excel.Range
    For Each cell In sourceRange.Cells
        finalValue = finalValue + CStr(cell.Value) + " "
    Next cell
    CombineCellsIntoOneWithSpace = finalValue
End Function

5# back to the current worksheet, try to enter the below formula to merge the range of cells A1:C1 to only one cell D3.

=CombineCellsIntoOneWithSpace(A1:A3)
