Hello all,

It was kind of tricky to come up with the best way to title this thread...my apologies for vagueness.

I have a pretty big spreadsheet with a lot of detailed items.
Rows A:CV are a bunch of details about an item.
Rows CV:DH are a list of categories...if the item meets certain Category characteristics, then it is listed as TRUE.
Basically, the table looks something like this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

I am trying to figure out how to break down the results into a list on the same cell...something like this:

Interpretation: Item 1 belongs Category A, Category D, and Category H.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's whether you want a "carriage return" between each value or a coma, see posts 4 & 5

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Turning on WrapText with the carriage return/NL looks great.
However, I am not able to get the correct results in the all FALSE instances.
See below in red for an example:
