Default IF(ISTEXT Concatenate formula question

Strange, your formula works fine in my Excel 97.......might the cells contain
formulas that evaluate to " "...........

Thank you, Chuck. But that doesn't seem to be the problem. I checked the
empty cells to make sure there were no spaces OR non-printing characters.

Gracias,

Could be your "empty" cells actually have a "space" (or other invisible
character) in them, which counts as "text", and gets CONCATENATED.

I have a formula that concatenates cells if they have text and inserts ";"
between each text string. However, it also puts multiple ;;; at the end if
there was no text in the last 3 cells. What, if anything can I tweak to
prevent this?

=IF(ISTEXT(V3),V3&";","")&IF(ISTEXT(W3),W3&";","") &IF(ISTEXT(X3),X3&";","")&IF(ISTEXT(Y3),Y3&";","") &IF(ISTEXT(Z32),Z3&";","")&IF(ISTEXT(AA3),AA3&";", "")&IF(ISTEXT(AB3),AB3&";","")&IF(ISTEXT(AC3),AC3, "")

Thank you!
