Default IF(ISTEXT Concatenate formula question

Your formula works exactly as intended? The only problem being that, when
the lsat cell, or cells, do not contain anything, your concatenation will end
on a ";". Eg, if you have touch, feel and smell in the relevant cells, your
result will be touch;feel;smell;. I would have thought that you would prefer
not to have the last ";". On the other hand, it will require quite some
tweaking to eliminate that, and you will have to decide whether that is
essential.

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!
