I have a set of questions in column A1 to A2 etc, answers are selcted in column B1 to B10 etc via a data validation list from another worksheet in the same workbook.

I want to use the concatenate or similar function to collect all of the answers into one single cell which i can then copy and paste into a separate program. I want the answers to be in a specific format however.

E.G.
I would like the following to be in one single cell

Name: (Answer in B1)
Team: (Answer in B2)

Group: (Answer in B3)
Action: (Answer in B4)

Result: (Answer in B5)


To include multiple futher text and answers etc

Is this possible?

I have used the concatenate function previously but only to collect the text, insert a commar or colen between said text or answers with spaces either side etc. This then was concatented into one cell as one long sentence or string rather than within a sepcific format. which is what i want now.

I am a basic user and any help would save me literally hours of googling and trial and error.

Thank you in advance

Yours hopefully

Dave

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Hi,

Sounds like you already answered your own question...or I'm not understanding correctly:

Hi,

Apologies.

I am ok with the concatenate as you describe but instead of simply punctating the concatenated data i wanted some of the date to appear on new lines or paragraphs etc.
