Hi. I am just learning about the use of functions so bear with me. I am trying to list the first value from an array (column) that contains blanks and concatenate a series of those values from up to 4 arrays (columns). The formula works regardless of whether the first cell in the array is blank or not but if the second column does not contain a value in the first cell, the formula doesn't work. I do not know VBA so I can only use functions. Here's the formula I used as an example. I used CTRL+Shift+Enter. I'd appreciate an explanation of why this doesn't work. And some help if there's a simple fix.
=IF($A$2="","","For Formulation 2 App1 = "&INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK($C$2:$C$11),0)))&IF(ISBLANK($D$2:$D$11),"","; App 2= "&INDEX($D$2:$D$11,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK($D$2:$D$11),0)))&IF(ISBLANK($D$2:$D$11),"","; App 3= "&INDEX($D$2:$D$11,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK($D$2:$D$11),0)))
A2 = 195; C3=197, C4=137, the rest are blank; D3=198, D5=156, the rest are blank. Here's the result.
For Formulation 2 App1 = 197 Thanks for your help, Marty |
