Hello Everyone,

Seeking for assistance to help solve scenario below...

I am looking for a formula which would return a non-blank value in a row and cover some additional logic:

1) if the row has one value (i.e. ROW 2 / B2) return that value
2) if the row has two or more values (i.e. ROW3 / C3&D3) return specific text
3) if the row has no values (i.e. ROW4) return specific text (2)

*Please note that the actual cells are filled with formulas returning string values in a General format.



Appreciate your help!

Peter,

Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, the suggested formula is returning "error" value across all the rows... I think this may be due to the cell format which I'll try to explain.

I am using below formulas to get the outputs (yellow/red/...) in Columns B/C/D:

[TABLE="class: head"]

Now using the output (Columns B/C/D) from the table above, how do I get Column E values:

1) if the row has one value (i.e. ROW 2 / B2) return that value
2) if the row has two or more values (i.e. ROW3 / C3&D3) return specific text
3) if the row has no values (i.e. ROW4) return specific text (2)

Appreciate your help!

OK, that does make a difference.

So now the question is what version of Excel are you using? Do you have the CONCAT function?

E2: =IF(COUNTIF(B2:D2,"?*")=0,"No results",IF(COUNTIF(B2:D2,"?*")=1,CONCAT(B2:D2),"Error"))
