Default Excel function - countif

Well, you could have a construct like this:

=IF('Remote Offices'!B1="x",'Remote Offices'!A1&", ","") & IF('Remote
Offices'!B2="x",'Remote Offices'!A2&", ","") & IF('Remote Offices'!
B3="x",'Remote Offices'!A3&", ","") & IF('Remote Offices'!
B4="x",'Remote Offices'!A4&", ","") & IF('Remote Offices'!
B5="x",'Remote Offices'!A5&", ","")

and you could continue in this way for several cells, but it is not
very elegant.

Hope this helps.

I want to modify the formula, so that it returns to me the text in a
different column (A1-A5) if the condition is met. Is this possible?

For example if cells B1, B2, and B5 have the value "x" and cells
A1="Irvine", A2="Anaheim, and A5="Tustin", I would like the function to give
the following result:
"Irvine, Anaheim, Tustin"
