Concatenate Text... with spaces
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!

Try this:
=SUBSTITUTE(MCONCAT(IF(A1:A6<>"",A1:A6&", ","")),",","",COUNTA(A1:A6)) ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter "Leslie W." wrote: > I'm having a problem, and I don't know if there's a solution in the form of > an Excel function.
