Copying the formulas would not take long, but if the data is inconsistent then
that throws a wrinkle into it.

I'll look at whipping up a macro but others here are pretty handy with the
formulas so hang in.

Someone can help.

It is a huge report and it would take a long time to combine all the cells.
The only problem is that the rows are not consistent. I tried to use the
“if” and then “concatenate” didn’t work. The report looks like this.

Do you want a macro?

It can be done without a macro using the ampersand.
