Hyphens between combined cell data when not blank

kpassfield

Hi,

I have the below formula to combine a number of cells together to make a naming convention. I want hyphens between each piece of information but only if the cell is not blank.

We only have a Program Code 2 about half the time, I don't want an extra hyphen in there when it's a blank cell.

The combined data at the moment looks like this code2 code1 - 3 - 123. I want it to look like this code2 - code1 - 3 - 123 or this if code 2 is blank code1 - 3 - 123

=[Program Code 2 ]@row + " " + [Program Code]@row + " - " + [Contract Type Helper ]@row + " - " + [System No. ]@row

Hi @kpassfield

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this. (if the columns are side by side in the same order as you wrote above)

=JOIN(COLLECT([Program Code 2]@row:[System No.]@row, [Program Code 2]@row:[System No.]@row, <>""), " - ")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
