Concatenation is the process of combining two or more strings into a single string. In VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), there are different ways to concatenate strings. One way is by using the “&” operator, which simply joins two strings together. Another way is by using the “concatenate” function, which allows for multiple strings to be joined at once. Additionally, the “join” function can also be used to concatenate strings with a specific delimiter. Here is an example of each method:
1. Using the “&” operator:
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
str1 = Hello”
str2 = “World”
MsgBox str1 & str2 ‘Output: HelloWorld
2. Using the “concatenate” function:
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
str1 = Hello”
str2 = “World”
MsgBox Concatenate(str1, str2) ‘Output: HelloWorld
3. Using the “join” function:
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
str1 = Hello”
str2 = “World”
MsgBox Join(Array(str1, str2), ” “) ‘Output: Hello World
Overall, these methods provide flexibility for concatenating strings in VBA, depending on the specific needs of the programmer.
Concatenate Strings in VBA (With Examples)
You can use the following methods to concatenate strings in VBA:
Method 1: Concatenate Two Strings
Sub ConcatStrings()
Range("C2") = Range("A2") & Range("B2")
End Sub
This example will concatenate the strings in cells A2 and B2 and display the result in cell C2.
Method 2: Concatenate Two Strings with Delimiter
Sub ConcatStrings()
Range("C2") = Range("A2") & " " & Range("B2")
End SubThis example will concatenate the strings in cells A2 and B2 with a space in between the strings and display the result in cell C2.
Method 3: Concatenate Two Columns with Delimiter
Sub ConcatStrings()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To 6
Cells(i, 3).Value = Cells(i, 1) & "_" & Cells(i, 2)
Next i
End SubThis example will concatenate the strings in ranges A2:A6 and B2:B6 with an underscore in between the strings and display the results in cells C2:C6.
The following examples show how to use each of these methods in practice.
Example 1: Concatenate Two Strings
We can create the following macro to concatenate two strings:
Sub ConcatStrings()
Range("C2") = Range("A2") & Range("B2")
End SubWhen we run this macro, we receive the following output:
Notice that the strings in cells A2 and B2 have been concatenated together into cell C2.
Example 2: Concatenate Two Strings with Delimiter
We can create the following macro to concatenate two strings with a space as a delimiter:
Sub ConcatStrings()
Range("C2") = Range("A2") & " " & Range("B2")
End SubWhen we run this macro, we receive the following output:
Notice that the strings in cells A2 and B2 have been concatenated together with a space in between them and the result is shown in cell C2.
Example 3: Concatenate Two Columns with Delimiter
We can create the following macro to concatenate the strings in two columns with an underscore as a delimiter:
Sub ConcatStrings()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To 6
Cells(i, 3).Value = Cells(i, 1) & "_" & Cells(i, 2)
Next i
End SubWhen we run this macro, we receive the following output:
Notice that the strings in the range A2:A6 and B2:B6 have been concatenated together with an underscore in between them and the results are shown in the range C2:C6.
