Concatenate a range of cells in Numbers

Is there a way to concatenate a range of cells in Numbers?


let say e.g. I have the following table


and I want to have for each column the concatenation of all cells, as shown bellow


is there a more elegant way than using the concatenate formula like this ?


(I have a table of ~300x200, and this solution doesn't seems sustainable)

The alternate solution, using the concatenation operatoR (&), is no more 'elegant.'


A1&A2&A3&A4&A5&A6&A7&A8&A9&A10&A11&A12&A13&A14&A15


Or you could use a cumulative concatenation process on separate table, like this:


Table 1, on the left, contains entered data in all rows except the last, A17.

A17 contains a formula that is a simple cell reference to the last cell (A16) on Table 2.


A17: Table 2::A16


Cell A1 of Table 2 is left empty, or may contain a null string,

A2 contains the formula shown below the tables, filled down to A16:


A2: A1&Table 1::A2


Results are as shown.
