    How to resolve CONCATENATE formula function?

    Hi y'all.

    I need help with some excel formulas, I tried everything but still could not find solution.Capture.PNG

    I want to use CONCATENATE to join together A columng cities with Description from C colums. There is condition, if F column >25, I must first use City name and then Dentist, but if F column <25, first use Best Dentist in and then City name.

    Do you have any suggestion? Which formula to use and how to make formula.

    I use this formula =IF(F2<$F$1,"Best Dentist in "&A2&""), IF(F2>$F$1, ""&A2& "Dentist"), but get #VALUE!.

    Thanks in advance!

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)

    Re: CONCATENATE formula issues

    Hi milvol,

    Here is the formula you need. The structure of IF statements is IF(Condition,True,False). So, if F2<F1 is true, then "Best Dentist in" will be the option, if it is false, then it will use the 2nd option where "Dentist" is at the end.

    Try

    =IF(F2<$F$1,"Best Dentist in "&A2&"",IF(F2>$F$1,""&A2&"Dentist"))

    Previous formula =IF(F2<$F$1,"Best Dentist in "&A2&""), IF(F2>$F$1, ""&A2& "Dentist") Highlighted red part of this formula was creating value error

    Re: How to resolve CONCATENATE formula function?

    Hi, seems like you don't need nested if, try the simple:
    =IF(F2<$F$1,"Best Dentist in "&A2&" "," "&A2& " Dentist")

    Regards,
    Khalid
