Which Formula?
 

Thanks in advance.
Which formula would work here.
There are 7 cells. There will be 1 random text value in one cell, the others
will be blank. I want whichever text value is in the one cell to show up in
another cell.

Which Formula?
 

Hi

Try
=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),A1:A7)

If your text is in Cell A1 and you are wanting your values to be in cells B1,
C1, D1, etc. then all you have to to is type "=$A$1" into cells B1-D1.

If you want B1 to reflect A1, and C1 to reflect B1, then just leave the $
out like "=A1" then drag the cells and hit Ctrl-R to fill, or Ctrl-D if you
are doing this in a column., then it will automatically change A1, B1, C1, so
that each cell reflects the one before it. If you have the $A$1, then you
can still use the Ctrl-R to fill right but it will not change the value so
all cells will reflect what is in A1.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Here are a couple of ways:

1) =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6,A7)

2) =INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH("*",A1:A7))

Hi,

correction on the second formula:

=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH("*",A1:A7,0))

if there is no text in A1:A7 it will return #N/A so you can try this instead:

=IF(ISNA(INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH("*",A1:A7,0))),"",INDEX (A1:A7,MATCH("*",A1:A7,0)))

Cheers!

Pinmaster Could that also answer my question in Thread (array, formula,
Constant...........still not sure what to do on that, but I tried your
formula with varied results

Hi,

Posting in other peoples tread isn't going to help you! Go back to your own
tread and give more details as I'm sure most people don't have a clue what
you're tryiing to accomplish. What result are you looking for? sum? count?
average? ect ect.....!

Good luck

Thank you all. CONCATENATE worked perfectly. I'll experiment with the other
answers to learn more. thx again.

The CONCATENATE is slick - and you can ignore my log IF() statement in your
other, duplicate, request for help on this one.
