Excel Facts

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
Try using the LET() formula
=LET(A,TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2&B2&C2:T2&"_C_1.png"),IF(A="","",A))

Try using the LET() formula
=LET(A,TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2&B2&C2:T2&"_C_1.png"),IF(A="","",A))
I've never used the LET function before so not entirely sure what it does. I have put it in your suggestion but I am getting exactly the same results are I had before? Is there something else I need to do to make it work? It still creates the 14 paths extra paths I don't need. Thanks

Try using the below formula :

=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2&B2&C2:T2&IF(C2:T2<>"","_C_1.png",""))

Try using the below formula :

=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2&B2&C2:T2&IF(C2:T2<>"","_C_1.png",""))
It works on removing the last section "_C_1.png" but not on removing (A2)&(B2) or the comma that is presumably still being brought in by the textjoin.

Thanks

How about
Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2&B2&FILTER(C2:T2,C2:T2<>"")&"_C_1.png")

Thank you for your help! 😊

If you don't mind me asking what is it doing exactly? Would the below be correct?
textjoining with comma A2&B2& filtering/matching values in range C2:T2 that are not equal to "" nothing and only brining those ones back?
