    Combine multiple text cells if value exists in other cells

    Trying to help out with a form, cant seem to figure out how to combine multiple long text cells. Using if errors out stating that it cant handle more than 255 characters. Currently copying to another cell with multiple if's then concatenating to another cell, but this seems cumbersome. Tried to figure out vlookup but I cannot make it work. Any suggestions?

    A simplified picture looks like this:

    info selection
    1 text1 x
    2 text2
    3 text3 x
    4 text4 x
    5
    6 text1
    text3
    text4
    7

    Here is one sheet of this workbook. If you place an X in the fields of columns d through j then the comments of column j combine and appear in c24. If its too difficult to copy comments, that same text can be placed in different cells, as long as the result is the same.
