What is the best way to convert a range of cells to a string? I have a function that only takes a string as input so I need to convert the range to a string, while retaining as much of the formatting as possible (i.e. it needs to look like a table or list, not just a string of characters). I've tried working with CStr(), as well as converting from a range to an array and then to a string, but I just get errors.
Edit: Code attempt
Dim email_answer As Integer
email_answer = MsgBox("Do you want to be emailled a copy of this schedule?", vbYesNo)
If email_answer = vbYes Then
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim to_send As Range
to_send = Range("D3", "D10")
If Val(Application.Version) < 14 Then Exit Sub
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
With wb
MailFromMacWithMail body content:=CStr(to_send), _
mailsubject:="Schedule", _
toaddress:="email address", _
ccaddress:="", _
bccaddress:="", _
attachment:=.FullName, _
displaymail:=False
End With
Set wb = Nothing
End If
To make a comma separated list of cell values in a range:
Function RangeToString(ByVal myRange as Range) as String
RangeToString = ""
If Not myRange Is Nothing Then
Dim myCell as Range
For Each myCell in myRange
RangeToString = RangeToString & "," & myCell.Value
Next myCell
'Remove extra comma
RangeToString = Right(RangeToString, Len(RangeToString) - 1)
End If
End Function
You could add extra functionality like inserting a semicolon instead of a comma if the row number increases.
To use this function:
Sub AnySubNameHere()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A3:A10")
Dim myString as String
myString = RangeToString(rng)
End Sub
you could use this function:
Function Rang2String(rng As Range) As String
Dim strng As String
Dim myRow As Range
With rng
For Each myRow In .Rows
strng = strng & Join(Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(myRow.value)), "|") & vbLf
Next
End With
Rang2String = Left(strng, Len(strng) - 1)
End Function
which would return a string with linefeed character as range rows separator and pipes ("|") as columns separator
