The macro in this workbook automatically updates the references from the ASAP Utilities formulas
to the program folder if needed. This can for example be the case if ASAP Utilities is not installed
in the default C:\Program Files\ASAP Utilities\ folder but for example
C:\Program Files (x86)\ASAP Utilities\
If the macro does not run automatically then you can press the button below:

#ADDIN?

#ADDIN?

Joins several text strings into one text string.

An easy alterative for the Excel =CONCATENATE() function. The benefit of this ASAP Utilities function:
- You can specify a range to join, for example "A1:G1".
- The number format of the values will be used.
For example if a cell has the value "12.23072" and the number format is to display only one decimal then th
- You only have to specify a delimiter once.
- By default empty cells will be ignored.
