Display only unique values in CONCATENATE formula
Thank you to Excel MVP Ron Coderre for the following formula. This is to
used to show if cells A1:A3 are the same then I want to CONCATENATE cells B1:B3 into cells D1:D3 and C1:C3 into E1:E3 If Row_1 can contain headings and your data can start in Row_2... Try this: D2: =IF($A2<$A1,B2,"")&IF($A2=$A3,B3,"")&IF($A2=$A4,B 4,"") Some cells contain the same words then these are repeated. Is it possible for just one of unique values to be displayed. Currently my results look like this YesYesYesYesTrafficTraffic I want it to look like this Yes Traffic with a space in between etc. Thank you again |
Display only unique values in CONCATENATE formula
If you're existing formula works ok:
=IF($A2<$A1,B2,"")&IF($A2=$A3,B3,"")&IF($A2=$A4,B 4,"") then change those empty strings "" to a space character " " =IF($A2<$A1,B2," ")&IF($A2=$A3,B3," ")&IF($A2=$A4,B4," ") But this means you could have something like: Yes Yes Traffic So wrap it =trim() to get rid of the leading, trailing and multiple embedded spaces: =trim(IF($A2<$A1,B2," ")&IF($A2=$A3,B3," ")&IF($A2=$A4,B4," ")) Mally wrote: Thank you to Excel MVP Ron Coderre for the following formula.

Display only unique values in CONCATENATE formula
Using your previously posted data in A1: C7:
Heading1 Heading2 Heading3 1 S A 2 A E 2 S Q 5 L D 8 S T 8 A Z I hope this formula represents progress... D2: =TRIM(IF($A2<$A1,B2&" "," ")& IF($A2=$A3,IF(AND($A2<$A1,B3),B3&" ",""),"")& IF($A2=$A4,IF(AND($A2=$A3,B4<B3,B4<B2),B4," "),"")) Copy that formula across and down through E7 With the above data the formulas returns these values in D2:E7: S A A S E Q blank blank L D S A T Z But, using this data: Heading1 Heading2 Heading3 2 S A 2 A E 2 S Q 5 L D 8 S T 8 A Z ....this is returned: S A A E Q blank blank blank blank L D S A T Z Does that help?

OOPS! Found a typo...
Try this formula in D2 (and copied across and down through E7): =TRIM(IF($A2<$A1,B2&" "," ")& IF($A2=$A3,IF(AND($A2<$A1,B2<B3),B3&" ",""),"")& IF($A2=$A4,IF(AND($A2=$A3,B4<B3,B4<B2),B4," "),"")) Does that help?

Display only unique values in CONCATENATE formula
Hi Ron
Thanks Ron. That works with the exception of one thing. It works when there is only 3 or less matching items in column two. When there is more than 3 items that match then these are displayed on th next line as shown below. A B C D E 1 No. aa bb cc dd 2 1 B1 C1 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 3 1 B2 C2 B4 C4 4 1 B3 C3 B5 C5 5 1 B4 C4 B6 C6 6 1 B5 C5 I've studied your formula and i'm going to see if i can replicate it to display all matching cells on the same line if this is possible. Thank you again for all of your help "Ron Coderre" wrote: OOPS! Found a typo...
