In the context of the above table, I've come up with the following formula for column D:
=CONCATENATE(RIGHT($A$1, 3), A2, C2)
The two problems I'm struggling with is:
- incorporating the linked element (column B) to the desired result as per column D. The best I came up with for this was , =CONCATENATE(RIGHT($A$1, 3), A2, IF(ISBLANK(B2), "", B2), C2) but it doesn't work because I don't know where to place the "/" sign and in general just doesn't work.
- ensuring that the formula returns blank cells for D11-D14 (as there are no entries in those rows).
Any help pleeeeease??
Thank you kindly in advance
