I have a range of data in collumns that I wish to combine into one cell at
location E3 (with comas so it should look like 9,5,10b,4). The range is
AE3:BG3 but some cells are blank. The values in the cells are just numbers
but I dont want to add them, just display them. Any tips are appreciated.

the data looks like this:
AG AH AI AJ -
11 9 23 24 18 21 3 4 8 10b 15 16 20 17

11 18 21 4 10b 15 16 20 17

Well, this is a bit clumsy given that you have so many cells:

=SUBSTITUTE(AE3&", "&AF3&", "&AG3&", "&AH3&", "&AI3&", "&...
.... &BE3&", "&BF3&", "&IF(BG3="",",",BG3&","),", ,",",")

You will need to continue with the terms:

.... &cell&", " ...

in the middle of the formula for each of your cells. You will have a
comma at the end of the last non-blank term - you could delete this
using LEFT.

Hope this helps.

then use this formula

=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(MCONCAT(IF(AE3:BG3<"",AE3:BG3,"" )&" "))," ",", ")

ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter

Thank you so much - that solution worked well.
