Add multiple contacts to one column?

CNaenfeldt

Hello,

Is there a way to add both emails directly to one column from the reference sheet? When I try I only get #INCORRECT ARGUMENT.

As you can see sometimes it happens that I don't have two names in one cell:

Current formulas that are working for individual emails, depending on if the name is before or after the ", ".

=INDEX({Email}, MATCH(LEFT(Names@row, FIND(", ", Names@row) - 1), {Email Names}, 0))

=INDEX({Email}, MATCH(RIGHT(Names@row, (LEN(Names@row) - FIND(", ", Names@row) - 1)), {Email Names}, 0))

Thank you!

Hi @CNaenfeldt

You can use the COUNTM() function to get the number of elements of multiple-select dropdown lists or contacts.

Then, if the COUNTM() =2, use your two formulas. If the COUNTM() is 1, set the second email as "".

To combine two emails to Email(s), use a formula like this.

=[email 1]@row + "," + [email 2]@row

Again, if the COUNTM() is 1, return just the first email.

If you have many (N) emails, you can use JOIN(Email1:EmailN,",") and use SUBSTITUTE() to remove the last "," by a formula like SUBSTITUTE(join-result-text, "last email, ", "last email").
