Hi Experts,

I am trying to make an interactive sheet that would create a key using specific data to then use as an identifier across multiple sheets. As information is subject to change, I want to add 3 input columns that would essentially:
1. If all cells are blank just uses the same value in the "key" column
2. If I add something in the input cells, then whichever element I change it would override its counterpart in the "new key" column

I've added a manual example to show you what i am trying to do. Looking at this, is there maybe a way to use multple IF functions to do this?

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
How about:

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2:H2)),E2,TEXTJOIN("-",,IF(ISBLANK(F2:H2)=FALSE,F2:H2,TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"))))

You can shorten to this:
Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN("-",,IF(F2:H2="",TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"),F2:H2))
