trying to combine cells with shortest equation

[MtK]

So I have this equation that looks like

=C1&" "&C2&" "&C3&" "&C4&" "&C5

I was thinking maybe I could reduce the equation to just show the
first and last cell like =C1:C2 but that doesn't work and even if it
did i need the space between the two cells. and help are creating a
reduced equation that uses the first and last cells and has a space
would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

User defined Function.

Function ConCatRange(CellBlock As Range) As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim sbuf As String
For Each cell In CellBlock
If Len(cell.text) > 0 Then sbuf = sbuf & cell.text & ","
Next
ConCatRange = Left(sbuf, Len(sbuf) - 1)
End Function

Usage is: =ConCatRange(C1:C5)

Macro.........

Sub ConCat_Cells()
Dim x As Range
Dim y As Range
Dim z As Range
Dim w As String
Dim sbuf As String
On Error GoTo endit
w = InputBox("Enter the Type of De-limiter Desired")
Set z = Application.InputBox("Select Destination Cell", _
"Destination Cell", , , , , , 8)
Application.SendKeys "+{F8}"
Set x = Application.InputBox("Select Cells...Contiguous or
Non-Contiguous", _
"Cells Selection", , , , , , 8)
For Each y In x
If Len(y.text) > 0 Then sbuf = sbuf & y.text & w
Next
z = Left(sbuf, Len(sbuf) - 1)
'Application.SendKeys "+{F8}"
Exit Sub
endit:
MsgBox "Nothing Selected. Please try again."
End Sub
