Hi guys,

can anyone tell me ow can I use an if statement together with concatenate? I have 2 columns A with products and B with key words, so for example I need to look in column A "Shampoo" (may be just in one cell or several) and then if "Shampoo" is found in several cells, I need to concatenate all the key words from column B.

A B
1 Shampoo Hair
2 Lotion White
3 Shampoo Soft
4 Shampoo Fresh

Result: Hair, Soft, Fresh

Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
