Combining text from different Cells IF
I messed around with this for a while, but it was too advanced for me i was hoping someone could help me out!! I have one column data listing one of several categories. For example one is legal expenses. For some of these legal expenses i have a seperate column where i may or may not include a memo. I want to design a function that will go down the first column check if it says "legal expenses" then add take the text from the adjacent column and combine it with the other memo's for legal expenses! Dont know if its possible...? Thanks! -- henrymartz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ henrymartz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37575 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=572318 |

Combining text from different Cells IF
Am I right that you want the memos for Legal Expenses to appear in one cell
together? You can use the IF function to get the data next to a cell based upon finding "Legal Expnese". And you can use the CONCATENATE function to combine text from multiple cells. But to combine text from more that one cell (an undetermined # and location of cells), would require a VBA macro. That would be the only automated way. Another option would be to filter the column for "Legal Expenses" , then create a Concatenate formula for the memos that are present. Certainly a bit more manual. ut it will work. Let us know of the outcome. "henrymartz" wrote: I messed around with this for a while, but it was too advanced for me i was hoping someone could help me out!!
