Which Formula do I need?

I have a spreadsheet that has 5 columns of data but there is only going to be 1 answer in a column in any row, I am going to create an additional column, what I need is this column to show the answer from the 5 other columns.

 

Any suggestions welcome.

 

Cheers

    If you're working in a fully updated Excel 365 then it's very simple:

    =BYROW(data,CONCAT)

     

  • Let's say the answers are in columns D to H, starting in row 2. 

    In another cell in row 2:

    If the answers are numbers or dates: =SUM(D2:H2) or =MAX(D2:H2)

    If the answers are text: =CONCAT(D2:H2)

    Fill down.
