If you frequently work with Excel spreadsheets, you may need to add a comma character at the end of cells for various reasons, such as creating lists or formatting data for import/export.

This post will guide you on how to add a comma at the end of cells in Excel using different methods. One way to achieve this is by using the concatenation operator “&” or the CONCATENATE function. Alternatively, you can use VBA code to automate the process and save time when dealing with large amounts of data.

1. Adding Comma Character at End of Cells using Concatenation Operator

If you want to add a comma character at end of cells in a range, you just need to use the concatenation operator to create a formula. Like this:

=B1&","

Type this formula in a blank cell, and then press Enter key. And then drag the AutoFill handle over other cells to apply this formula.

You will see that the comma character has been added at the end of all cells.

2. Adding Comma Character at End of Cells Using CONCATENATE Function

You can also add a comma character at the end of cells in excel using CONCATENATE function, you can following these steps:

Step1: Select one blank cell where you want to add the comma.

Step2: type the formula:

=CONCATENATE(cell reference,",")

Step3: Replace “cell reference” with the reference to the cell that you want to add the comma to. Press “Enter” to complete the formula.

For example, if you want to add a comma at the end of the text in cell B1, the formula would be:

=CONCATENATE(B1,",")

 Once you enter this formula, the text in cell A1 will be displayed with a comma at the end.

Step4: You can also use this function to add a comma at the end of multiple cells at once by dragging the formula down to the other cells you want to include.

3. Adding Comma Character at End of Cells with VBA Code

If you want to add a comma character at the end of cells in Excel using VBA code, you can follow these steps:

Step1: Open the Visual Basic Editor by pressing Alt + F11.

Step2: In the VBA Editor, insert a new module by going to “Insert” > “Module“.

Step3: In the module, paste the following code:

Sub AddCommaToEnd_ExcelHow()
    'Declare variables
    Dim sourceRange As Range
    Dim destRange As Range
    Dim cell As Range
    
    'Prompt user to select source range
    Set sourceRange = Application.InputBox("Select source range", Type:=8)
    
    'Loop through each cell in the source range
    For Each cell In sourceRange
        'Add comma to end of cell value
        cell.Value = cell.Value & ","
    Next cell
End Sub

Step4: run the code by clicking the “Run” button (or pressing F5) or press ALT +F8 to open Macro dialog box. Select Macro name as you need. Clicking on Run button.

Step5: When the code runs, it will prompt the user to select a range of cells to modify.

Step5: The Comma Character would be added at the end of each cell in the selected range.
