    A4 = A1 OR A2 OR A3 (Ignore blank)

    Hi.

    There are 3 cells and only one of them will ever have a value in it. I want a 4th cell to = whichever of these cells has a value.

    For example Cell 1 is "Frog" so Cell 4 will be "Frog".
    On another row Cell 3 is "Boat" so Cell 4 of this row will be "Boat".

    Multiple columns in the same row would never be populated but if this were the case I'd expect an error or something similar...

    If the other cells are blank and only one of them is filled in why dont you just concatenate them?
    e.g.
    =A1&B1&C1

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
