JOIN forumla help

Here is a pic of my sheet. I'm trying to find a way to identify a specific CHILDREN row. I thought that using JOIN to bring together the columns that are unique would give me something to refer to to identify a specific CHILDREN row. I'm trying to JOIN the PL##### with the GRANDCHILD under Deliverable Name and Assets. The result I'm looking for is:
PL25148,Request Received and PL25148,Copyediting
However, my JOIN formula isn't working. Any thoughts?

Hi Jeana,
Instead of using JOIN, try just adding the cells together, with a comma between:
=PARENT([Asset #]@row) + " , " + [Deliverable Name and Assets]@row
If there is no parent it could look a little funny as the comma will start the cell, so we could add an IF statement around for if the Parent isn't blank. Let me know if you want help with this, or if the above formula works for you!
Cheers,
Genevieve
