Checklist into paragraph

[Talisakarin]

We are trying to turn parent checklist into narratives

Example:

My child uses words more than gestures to communicate (checked yes)

My child uses 1-2 words to gain wants and needs (checked sometimes)

Narrative to say:

Parent reported that X uses more words to communicate and sometimes uses 1-2 words to gain wants and needs. 

Can someone lead us into the direction of how to search this?

You can join text using functions like CONCATENATE or CONCAT or just use the join operator '&'

You may need to have another cell (maybe hidden) with the actual text you want to append if checked.

Then you can =IF(D1="yes", E1,"") & IF(D2="yes", E2,"") &IF(D3="yes", E3,"") & ...

Where column D is where they mark it "yes" and column E (hidden?) is the actual text to append.

PS (sorry for the correction but the prior was a response to another thread)

Another option that is probably 'cleaner' is to use a series of formulas in that hidden column E of the format: =IF(D1="yes","Parent reported child uses words more than gestures","") which is also helpful because you can add in the alternative text: =IF(D1="yes","Parent reported child uses words more than gestures","Parent reported child uses gestures more than words.") Then at the bottom you can use =CONCAT(E:E)
