Using Concatenate and Array into one List

Hello Wizards of Excel,

I'm having trouble with the current spreadsheet I working the goal is that I'm trying to combine three lists into one list, but each term needs "x" amount of terms attached to it and the end result is a text string. Using just concatenate doesn't seem to do the trick alone. I enclosed an example of this issue within this post any help with this is much appreciated!

Hi,
put this in I2 and drag down

Formula:

This is not an array formula (i.e. one that needs to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter), but you can use this in I2:

=IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNTA($B$2:$B$18)*COUNTA($C$2:$C$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)*COUNTA($G$2:$G$18),"",INDEX($B$2:$B$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)*COUNTA($C$2:$C$18)),COUNTA($B$2:$B$18))+1) & ": " & INDEX($C$2:$C$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)),COUNTA($C$2:$C$18))+1) & " - " & INDEX($E$2:$E$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)),COUNTA($E$2:$E$18))+1) & INDEX($G$2:$G$18,MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,COUNTA($G$2:$G$18))+1))

then copy down. It might be easier to understand it if I manually put line breaks in, like this:

=IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNTA($B$2:$B$18)*COUNTA($C$2:$C$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)*COUNTA($G$2:$G$18),"",
INDEX($B$2:$B$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)*COUNTA($C$2:$C$18)),COUNTA($B$2:$B$18))+1) & ": " &
INDEX($C$2:$C$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)*COUNTA($E$2:$E$18)),COUNTA($C$2:$C$18))+1) & " - " &
INDEX($E$2:$E$18,MOD(INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA($G$2:$G$18)),COUNTA($E$2:$E$18))+1) &
INDEX($G$2:$G$18,MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,COUNTA($G$2:$G$18))+1))

Hope this helps.

Pete
