I'm finding it really difficult to understand how to prefix or suffix a set of words based on a what I have chosen in a 'Data Validation List'.
CLICK HERE TO SEE/DOWNLOAD AN EXAMPLE SPREADSHEET
I have a list of words in column A and a list of words in column B.
In Cell C1 i have a data validation list and the options are 'Suffix' or 'Prefix'
What i would like to happen in (Column D), is if i choose Suffix to place all words in column B after of all words in column A. And if I choose Prefix to place all words in column B before all words in column A.
FYI - I'm using Excel 2013 and also there can be any number of words in column A and B.
I've tried using concatenate formulas but populating a list of words based on what is selected from a data validation list is way beyond my knowledge.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
