Default Concatenate Text... with spaces

Try this:

=SUBSTITUTE(MCONCAT(IF(A1:A6<"",A1:A6&", ","")),",","",COUNTA(A1:A6))

ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter

I'm having a problem, and I don't know if there's a solution in the form of
an Excel function. I believe I could write a VB Macro to accomplish what I
need to do, but I can't use macros for this application.

I have a Dataset that looks like this:
John Smith
<blank cell
Jane Doe
John Doe
<blank cell
Jane Smith

I need it to concatenate as John Smith, Jane Doe, John Doe, Jane Smith

I have the MCONCAT function, which works, but it does not solve the blank
cell problem. I have also tried the formula suggested by Toothless Mama in
the past, but that doesn't help me with the space.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!
