If the candidate columns are A,B,C then

=A1 & B1 & C1

You don't need to test with IFs, the concatenate will pick the proper value.

I have three columns. Only 1 column may have a name and the other 2 columns

I started this formula but it isn't working:
IF(Z4=" ",AA4,IF(AA4=" ",AB4,IF(AB4=" ",Z4,"")))
