Hello, any help is appreciated. I have four cells (A1 thru A4). I want
to display (1) in B1 if just A1 contains any text, or I want to display
(1) and (2) in B1 if cells A1 and A2 both contain text, or display
(1),(2), and (3) in B1 if A1,A2,and A3 contain text, or display (1),
(2), (3), and (4) in B1 if A1 thru A4 have any text in them.

Sorry if this has already been covered somewhere...I did check...Thanks
for any help guys/gals.

Can you live with something like:

(1),(2),(4)

If yes, you could use this formula in B1:

=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(IF(A1="","","(1) ")
& IF(A2="","","(2) ") & IF(A3="","","(3) ") & IF(A4="","","(4) "))," ",",")

Thank you. It would be ok if it was up to me...but it requires a little
more...but again, appreciate your help.

Dear Mrs Bull Foreman:

This is one way to do it:

Dim szAns As String
With ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A4")
If .Cells(1) = "" Then
szAns = ""
Else
szAns = "(1)"
If .Cells(2) < "" Then
If .Cells(3) = "" Then
szAns = szAns & " and (2)"
Else
szAns = szAns & ", (2)"
If .Cells(4) = "" Then
szAns = szAns & " and (3)"
Else
szAns = szAns & ", (3) and (4)"
End If
End If
End If
End If
End With

Here is a nice simple formula to put in cell B1

=CHOOSE(COUNTA(A1:A4),"(1)","(1)(2)","(1)(2)(3)"," (1)(2)(3)(4)")
