I am making a template. Sheet 2 is the input sheet for data, Sheet 1 moves that data from Sheet 2 into Sheet 1 and adds a column with a concatenate formula since we need a column with a Unique ID. Sheet 1 is locked to read only and that sheet is used as a source file for a downstream data shuttle workflow. My issue is if the entire row is blank, the concantenate colum is showing "00". I need it to be blank or the downstream workflow imports that column as if contains data when it does not. I already made it so my blank columns don't show the 0 but looks like that is just a cosmetic view change and its not actually blank. If the 2 cells are blank or 0, I want my concatenate cell to be blank. Is this possible? Or perhaps I should just use a JOIN formula with a space in between the 2 values? It means I have to update the current data as there is no space in the Unique ID column and they need to match but if it makes moving forward easier...

What are the formulas you currently use?

@Hans Vogelaar just concantenate so =G2&O2 for example which returns 00 if the cells are blank. I can do it with a JOIN TEXT formula but it requires I add a space. Would like to avoid that if I can as it means needing to go in and modify my current data already in the system.
