Hello Fellow Users,

I need help concatenating two columns and retaining the color format located in column B. Please see the snapshot below. Can someone help me with the VBA code? Thank you!

Column A (A1:A200)
Name

Column B (B1:B200).....Column B text color: RGB (47, 117, 181)
Lname

Column C (C1:C200)
Name - Lname
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Sub t()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 200
With ActiveSheet
.Cells(i, 3) = .Cells(i, 1).Value & "-" & .Cells(i, 2).Value
End With
Next
ActiveSheet.Range("C1:C200").Interior.Color = RGB(472, 117, 181)
End Sub

Hi JLGWhiz,
Thank you for your reply! This is very helpful. What I would like to do is keep the 'Column A' text font as Black RGB(0, 0, 0) and 'Column B' text font as RGB(472, 117, 181). What would this change look like?

Sorry, I misread the OP. I assume you mean that in column C you want the font to retain the color of their source. See it this is better.
Code:
Sub t()
Dim i As Long
    For i = 1 To 200
        With ActiveSheet
            .Cells(i, 3) = .Cells(i, 1).Value & "-" & .Cells(i, 2).Value
            .Cells(i, 3).Characters(InStr(.Cells(i, 3).Value, "-") + 1, _
             Len(.Cells(i, 3).Value) - InStr(.Cells(i, 3).Value, "-")).Font.Color = RGB(472, 117, 181)
        End With
    Next
End Sub
