I have 5 cells each can have a value or not, but what i want is the 6th cell
to tell me what cells have values. For example if a1, b1, and d1 have values
but c1 and e1 are blank, can I get cell f1 to say (1,2,4) with out a million
if statements. I need this to show a number for any combination of the 5
cells. Any help?

="("&IF(ISNUMBER(J5),"1, ","")&IF(ISNUMBER(K5),"2, ","")&IF(ISNUMBER(L5),"3,
","")&IF(ISNUMBER(M5)," 4, ","")&IF(ISNUMBER(N5),"5","")&")"

Worked for me - the number were in column j-m, the only item is that you
might have an additional "," that you might need.

Did it work for you??

Right click sheet tabview codeinsert thischange 21 to suit. Use fixit if
you get a freezeup.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Intersect(Target, Range("a1:e21")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Cells(Target.Row, "F") = ""
For i = 1 To 5
If Len(Trim(Cells(Target.Row, i))) 0 Then mystr = mystr & "," &
Cells(Target.Row, i)
Next i
Cells(Target.Row, "F") = Right(mystr, Len(mystr) - 1)
End Sub

Sub fixit()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I mis-read and gave you the data in the cells. if you want to know which
column then just add
..column

If Len(Trim(Cells(Target.Row, i))) 0 Then _
mystr = mystr & "," & Cells(Target.Row, i).COLUMN
