    Importing selected cells into VBA

    Can you help with how to import into vba just the data in the currently selected cells?

    What I want to do is to manually select a range of rows (in a single column) and upon running the macro put the data from each cell into the uppermost cell with each seperated with a comma.

    I can manage the combining of the data but don't now the selection is read into VBA

    manually select a range of rows (in a single column)
    Do you mean a range of cells in one column

    Thanks Noob that works a treat.

    Is there a way to delete the cells below selection(1) ? at the same time?

    trying to understand

    Noob this works perfectly. However I'm struggling to understand the line

    presumably Selection (1) selects the first cell in the range but don't know what the 9^9 bit does?

    I use the mid function to get rid of the extra comma at the start.
    Type =9^9 in a cell and it returns 387420489. This makes sure it shouldn't cut off any cells at the end of the mid function

    Selection (1) selects the first cell in the range
    Correct
