Based on the table above. I would like to know how can I merge the data from columns DATA 1 to DATA 3 into the FINAL STATUS column. Like the TABLE below.

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
If they are text entries like your sample and there is just one entry per row, try this in A2, copied down
=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),C2:E2)

Edit: If you have the CONCAT() function in your Excel version:
=CONCAT(C2:E2)

Thanks peter.

just wanted to understand what the "z" in the rept function do?

Actually there are 8 data columns with different texts in them.

The REPT() function creates a long string of "z"s. When the lookup function cannot find that in the range, it returns the last thing that it can find.



Actually there are 8 data columns with different texts in them.
If only one of those 8 columns in each row has data, then the function(s) will still work if you just expand the range C2:J2
If more than one column in the same row can have text, what result(s) do you want? Some examples like you gave in post #1 ?

Do you have the CONCAT function (Excel through Office 365)?
