    Concatenate non blanks and add commas

    Hi,

    How would I concatenate a large range of cells, most of which are blank, and add a comma between each cell's value?
    My range is E2:Y2 (I will be filling down), but most of the cells are blank. For example, if I F2=9, I2=11 and X=25, I would like to display them as: 9,11,25.
    If in the next row, G=10, K=15 and Y=27, they should look like this: 10,15,27.

    Thanks in advance!

    Jenny

    Not easily done with native excel... unless you like a long formula...

    i.e. =TRIM(E2&",",&F2&",",&G2&","& etc... &Y2)

    You can download and install a free addin from here callled Morefunc.xll

    and then use formula:

    =MCONCAT(E2:Y2,",")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    The big-but-readable solution:

    Note that this writes the result into the first column of the sheet, so figure out a better solution for output if you need to preserver the first column.

    Also note that I made assumptions about the ranges involved.

    Re: Concatenate non blanks and add commas

    Thank you. I have used this thread to download the morefunc.xll to use the MCONCAT function. My issue is how do you eliminate the seperator when there are no values, or only one value? I only want the separator when there are multiple values.

    Thanks.
