Combining text from two column's and creating a new list
Hi, hoping someone can help.
Please see the table below.
I'm trying to combine the "Base Code" and "Variant" column to produce the "Combined" column result. Hope that makes sense.
Basically I want to take the first code in the "Base Code" list and then combine that with the values in the "Variant" column separated by the ',' delimiter (and also add a '-').
Any advice, pointers etc would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Michael.
Microsoft Power Query for Excel is available for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) platforms, your selection must match architecture of the installed version of Office.

Michael,
would you consider a Power Query solution?
Hi Detlef,
Am not familiar with Power Query.
I've just Googled it and will need to look into it a bit further before I decide what to do, but thanks fo the advice.

Hi Detlef,
Can't install Power Query as it requires the 64 bit Excel version, I'm reatricted to the 32bit version.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Any other ideas as to how I might achieve my column extraction & combining !!
Am wondering if I need to look into some sort of VB option.
Regarsds.
