Default how to add up string or text together

Hi

You can use the formula below to concatentate the comments

=CONCATENATE(Sheet2!A1;Sheet3!A1)

BUT if the concatentated text is longer than the merged cells, then it won't
show the rest of the text.

I would rather use a formula like the one below to show all comments,
leaving cells empty if no entry was made. Then you can have a little macro
to hide empty rows in the comment area.

Best regards,
Per
