Help with blank cells when concatenating
I have a list of 2000 rows by 25 columns. I want to concatenate a cells e to
y in each row. Not all cells have data in them but the cells that do have data in them have a seven digit number. I need to concatenate all cells with data in them and have them end up in one column, with each seven digit number divided by a comma, i.e. 1234567,8912345,6789123,4567890. If I use &","& I end up with extra commas where I have had blank cells. I tried using spaces when concatenating, i.e. &" "&, removing all trailing spaces using TRIM and then replacing the remaining spaces with commas but, no matter how I try to format the column as text, as soon as I replace all the spaces with commas, Excel turns most of them into numbers that look like this - 2.02411E+62 and I can't get that back to appearing as a number or text with commas between each seven numbers. I tried using the following formula: =substitute(trim(C2&" "&D2&" "&E2&" "&F2)," ",", ") which I found in relation to a similar question in this discussion group but I can't get that formula to work (obviously I have the equations going up to &Y2) and I can't work out why even that formula won't work. Any help would be so gratefully appreciated as I have so far spent hours on this. Lyn. |
