Need help with CONCAT Function

Hi All,

 

Need help here with CONCAT Function, as I need to concat column A and B and get values as am getting for Rows 2 and 4 but for cases like in Row 3 where I have blank results, then I don't need that comma and apostrophe, I just need 'ABCD' where values in column B are blank.

 

Please help !

 

Thanks !

    Use this equation:        ="'"&IF(B2="",A2,CONCATENATE(,A2,",",B2,))&"'"

    =CONCAT(A2,B2)
    Assuming that cell A2 contains "ABC" and cell B2 contains "XYZ", this formula will return "ABCXYZ" in cell C2.

     

    If you want to concatenate columns A and B without a comma and display only the value from column A when column B is empty, you can use an IF function in combination with the CONCATENATE function. Here's the modified formula:

    =IF(B2="", A2, CONCATENATE(A2, B2))

    Note that the CONCATENATE function can also be replaced with the ampersand (&) operator for concatenation, like this:

    =IF(B2="", A2, A2&B2)

    Both formulas will achieve the same result.
