CONCATENATE ROWS - EXCEL

By old and tired.. ·

COL A = PART NUMBER (one cell)
COL B = DESCRIPTION (from one to 7 cells in the column)

I need to make a VB macro which would allow me to concatenate all the cells in COL B into one cell, while referencing the individual part number in COL A.

The following Macro works some...but not OK
Sub ConcatColumns ()
Do While ActiveCell <> "" 'Loops until the active cell is blank.
'The "&" must have a space on both sides or it will be treated
'as a variable type of long integer.
ActiveCell.Offsett(0, 1).FormulaR1C1 = _
ActiveCell.Offsett(0, -1) & " " & ActiveCell.Offsett(0, 0)
ActiveCell.Offsett(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub

What happens is that I cannot
a)
get all the cells in COL B (for Description) relating to any ONE PART Number (in COL A) to be specifically concatenated into COL C,in one cell.
b)

Function loogy(wks As Excel.Worksheet)
Dim cl As Excel.Range, row As Excel.Range, sList
'insert a new column
wks.Columns(2).Insert
For Each row In wks.UsedRange.Rows
sList = vbNullString
'collect all the values after the new column into a list
For iCell = 3 To row.Cells.Count
Set cl = row.Cells(iCell)
If "" = cl.Value Then Exit For
sList = sList + CStr(cl.Value) + Chr(59)
Next iCell
'assign the list to the new column
row.Cells(2) = sList
Next row
End Function

My friend sometime has to do such a hard and boring work like what you are experiencing. She complaint to me and all the time I had to create macros for her that's why I really sympathy for you. I have tested this piece of code and it ran well.
