Concatenate Two Columns?

Rate this: (3/5 from 1 vote)

	Hi,  I don't know whether this is the correct place to post my doubt. I am new to this forum. i have a doubt about concatenation. I have two columns with set of words in it. I want to make all the combinations by using those words. For an example, If I have the following words in column A, Alabama Alaska Arizona Texas Washington And in column B, Hotel Theatre If I combine both the columns, I want the output like the following Alabama Hotel Alaska Hotel Arizona Hotel Texas Hotel Washington Hotel Alabama Theatre Alaska Theatre Arizona Theatre Texas Theatre Washington Theatre What is the function i have to use to get this result? Explain me the procedures. I can't do anything manually. Because i have 40 keywords in column A and 15 keywords in column B. I have used the concatenation function already. It takes more time to do. So, i can't use that for getting bulk combinations. Explain me If you have any idea to get the result.                                                Thanks.

	Works Great, But... Rate this: (3/5 from 1 vote) I use the concatenate function to help build out lengthy keyword lists, and this macro works like a charm. However, it would be great if I didn't have to edit the cell ranges in the macro each time I use it. Some times I have 3 items in column A and other times I have 30. Does anyone know of a way to make the ranges in this macro more dynamic?

	Concatenate two columns with VBA loop Rate this: (2.5/5 from 2 votes) The easiest and most flexible way to concatenate two columns of text into a list of all possible combinations is to do it via a VBA macro. If, for example, you have the following spreadsheet: Excel Spreadsheet:   A B C D 1  Alabama  Hotel     2  Alaska  Theatre     3  Arizona       4  Texas       5  Washington       You could then run the following macro to concatenate each possible combination of city and site in column D: VBA Code: Sub combine_columns() Dim town As Variant Dim site As Variant Range("D1").Select 'Change as appropriate For Each site In Range("B1:B2") 'Change as appropriate     For Each town In Range("A1:A5") 'Change as appropriate         ActiveCell.Formula = town & " " & site         ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select     Next Next Range("D1").Select End Sub Try opening your VBA editor from Tools >> Macro >> Visual Basic Editor, insert a new module by choosing Insert >> Module and paste the above code in.  The macro will now be available from Tools >> Macro >> Macros.
