Unique Contract Number

[djdigital]

I'm trying to make a unique contract number based on select cells, I know how to achieve that but if the cells are blank I get the #Value message. How do I formulate if the cells are blank to ignore the formula?

=CONCATENATE(A2&"-"&L2&"-"&M2&"-"&O2&"-"&Q2&"-"& MID(G2,FIND(" ",G2)+1,LEN(G2))&"-"&B2)

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Also can you post a few examples of your data?

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
