JOIN formula to ignore cells in blank
Hi Trying to get below formula work.
=JOIN(Reedev@row:Yisan@row, Reedev@row:Yisan@row, NOT(ISBLANK(@cell), "| "))
Expected results are on the lat column. Formula above is returning "Incorrect argument set" error. What am I doing wrong. Please help

Hi Jean,
You’d need to use a JOIN COLLECT combination instead.
Something like this.
=JOIN(COLLECT(Reedev@row:Yisan@row, Reedev@row:Yisan@row, <>""), "| ")
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Strange!
I tested it and it should work.
Can you try it on another row with multiple values?
Did that work?

How can I incorporate this into my formula?
=JOIN(COLLECT([Serial Number]@row:[Serial Number 20]@row, [Serial Number]@row:[Serial Number 20]@row, FIND(LEFT(@cell, 4), "Q2AX^Q2BX") > 0), ",")
This produces "," from blank cells that I need removed. I can't seem to find the right place to put this into the formula.
