Using a CONCATENATE function with an IF function.
 

I currently have this function:

=IF(AO116="1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes & dislikes.,2) Agent did not ask or acknowledge they understand the beneficiary's current coverage.,3) Agent failed to collect enough information to recommend a suitable plan.,4) Agent recommended a plan that is not suitable for the beneficiary's needs.,6) Other compliance issue.", "1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes & dislikes.", “0”)


However, this is over the 255 char limit. How can I use this in conjunction with the CONCATENATE function per the instructions in Excel? This code works, and is what I want to happen. It's just that this one is too long for Excel's liking. Thank!

=IF(AO116="1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes & dislikes.&"-"&2) Agent did not ask or acknowledge they understand the beneficiary's current coverage.&"-"&3) Agent failed to collect enough information to recommend a suitable plan.&"-"&4) Agent recommended a plan that is not suitable for the beneficiary's needs.&"-"&6) Other compliance issue.", "1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes & dislikes.", “0”)


This almost got it! It doesn't return the error message anymore, but its not displaying the results. Returns a #Value! error.

Never use the CONCATENATE function. Use the concatenate operator (&). See
its use just before "4) Agent recommended a plan".

=IF(AO116="1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes &
dislikes.,2) Agent did not ask or acknowledge they understand the
beneficiary's current coverage.,3) Agent failed to collect enough
information to recommend a suitable plan.," & "4) Agent recommended a plan
that is not suitable for the beneficiary's needs.,6) Other compliance
issue.", "1) Agent did not identify the beneficiary's likes &
dislikes.", "0")

Thanks A BUNCH! That did it!
