I'm using the textJoin UDF listed below to combine values from various rows into a single cell; it displays each value. However, I want to know if I can manipulate the output of this UDF so that instead of simply displaying the values I can add the values and get the sum of the values. Or ideally, if I can just modify variables to instruct it to ADD the values. Does anyone know if this UDF (which I didn't create) can be instructed to output the Cell names (A2, B2, C2), and if so can I put that output within the Sum() function so that it will add A2+B2+C2?
Function TEXTJOIN(delim As String, skipblank As Boolean, arr)
Dim d As Long
Dim c As Long
Dim arr2()
Dim t As Long, y As Long
t = -1
y = -1
If TypeName(arr) = "Range" Then
arr2 = arr.Value
Else
arr2 = arr
End If
On Error Resume Next
t = UBound(arr2, 2)
y = UBound(arr2, 1)
On Error GoTo 0
If t >= 0 And y >= 0 Then
For c = LBound(arr2, 1) To UBound(arr2, 1)
For d = LBound(arr2, 1) To UBound(arr2, 2)
If arr2(c, d) <> "" Or Not skipblank Then
TEXTJOIN = TEXTJOIN & arr2(c, d) & delim
End If
Next d
Next c
Else
For c = LBound(arr2) To UBound(arr2)
If arr2(c) <> "" Or Not skipblank Then
TEXTJOIN = TEXTJOIN & arr2(c) & delim
End If
Next c
End If
TEXTJOIN = Left(TEXTJOIN, Len(TEXTJOIN) - Len(delim))
End Function
It seems like there should be a way to convert the output from the value of the cell to the cell name (i.e. C2, C3, C4, etc), then put the whole thing within the Sum() function so that it simply adds the cells together. Alternatively, is there a function that ads the values placed within the function instead of using cell names?
I want to add the highlighted cell (G2). I have the value of 10 and 20. It seems like I should be able to use =Sum(textJoin(...)) if I can get textJoin to output the cell names (i.e. C2, C3).
