Merging a column of data into one string in a cell

Say I have asset numbers in a column. I'm trying to get 80 of them into one string of data in a single cell. I've tried concatenate but I can't grab the whole group and do it this way, I'd have to select them one by one. I'm going to have to do this on a regular basis so I need an automated way to do it.
TIA

Holy mother of sorcery that's exactly what I needed

Just to comment, if you are not using the "UDF" method described, your function does not "live" update. It's an interesting approach to the problem by pasting the values into the formula, and should work for one time uses.
Another way without using a macro, is to concatenate upon itself. And "drag" the formula down.
So if your info is in column A1:A80, in B1 "=A1". B2 "=Concatenate(B1, A2)". Now drag B2 down to B80.
B80 is now your fully concatenated string, and live updates.
It's the dirty way of doing it, but gets the job done another way.
