Joining multiple select columns into one column

Chananya

Hi,

I have 2 columns that are multi-select and one column that a text column. I am looking for a formula to be able to get them all in one multi-select column.

I want multi-select column Missing 1 and multi-select column Missing 2 and text column ID problems to all combine in the multi-select column Missing.

I used the formula =[Missing 1]@row + char(10) + [Missing 2]@row + char(10) + [ID Problem]@row

But it seems that anytime one of the columns is blank I get #INVALID OPERATION error message.

I feel like there is an easy fix that I just can't seem to figure out. All help is appreciated.

Hi @Chananya

I hope you're well and safe!

Here are two ways to structure it.

=[Missing 1]@row + CHAR(10) + [Missing 2]@row + CHAR(10) + [ID Problem]@row

• If you could move the ID Problem column so it's after the Missing 2 column we could use the following formula instead:

=JOIN([Missing 1]@row:[ID Problem]@row, CHAR(10))

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
