I'm trying to do a concatenate formula to combine all the categories from sheet 1 into one cell. The values in Sheet1 for categories would be a drop down list of blank, L, M, and H. In Sheet 2, if the category has a value, include it in part of the concatenate formula. Is an loaded IF statement the most efficient way or would a macro make more logical sense?

Sheet1:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]ID[/TD]
[TD]Category 1[/TD]
[TD]Category 2[/TD]
[TD]Category 3[/TD]

    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(#"Sorted Rows",{"Attribute", "Value"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("#", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Merged Columns", {{"Merged", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("#", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Merged"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Merged", type text}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type1", {"ID"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.Column([Count],"Merged")),
    #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Custom", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), "#(cr)#(lf)"), type text}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Extracted Values",{"Count"}),
    #"Sorted Rows1" = Table.Sort(#"Removed Columns",{{"ID", Order.Ascending}, {"Custom", Order.Ascending}})
in
    #"Sorted Rows1"[/SIZE]
