Hi Guys

I have a table with shows comments (or notes) for each No in column A. I need to be able to get all the comments in one cell. An example of this would be the 'Notes concate' column. As you can see, No 1 as 4 comments but these appear on different rows. Is there a way to concatenate all of these comments in to one cell as per the example in Notes concate column?

Thanks

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
This is how I would do it based on the example provided.
