Combine data from multiple rows and columns into one cell

I have the formula to combine data from multiple rows into a single cell in D2: (D1 is the header of this new column)

=IF(A2=A3,D1&", "&B2,B2)

However it doesn't work when there are more than 2 columns of data. I actually have 10 columns in my workbook, but if you can show me how its possible with 3 then that would help. The video link is at the bottom.

RE: Combine data from multiple rows and columns into one cell

Hi Jens,

I'm struggling to get your formula to work in my worksheet as unfortunately I have 9 columns worth that I want all in one cell.

Do i need to use 'AND' in the formula?

Could you give me an example please?

Thanks

RE: Combine data from multiple rows and columns into one cell

Hi Andrew,

I have done another example with 5 columns.


Please find attached file.

No you will not need an AND function. The AND function can be used if you have multiple criteria.

My answer is based on the video you linked to your question. If you just want to concatenate columns type:

=A1&", "&B1&", "&C1&", "&D1................

in the destination cell

Kind regards
