    Need help copying info from multiple rows to one cell....

    Greetings,

    New here - was pointed in this direction by Fortune 3 customer service for my Excel questions.

    I have 2 sheets in the same workbook - one is products list, and one is product options.
    The Product Options sheet contain a list of multiple products with individual colors and mostly identical product numbers of which they fall under.
    What I want to happen is to use these product numbers as a reference to put the multiple colors in a single cell located in the Products List sheet.

    Example:

    Options
    - #650 red
    - #650 blue
    - #650 Yellow

    Products List
    - #650 red, blue, yellow
    (note the comma as well)

    If done correctly, I can copy this code across all the products in the products list sheet so that each unique item number will have all their colors listed within a single cell.
    I'm new to advanced Excel features, so I'm not sure if I should use something like VLOOKUP, and I have no idea how to use the macros, but I do have web programming experience if that will help.

    Much appreciated

    How is the information set up? As it is, I would say to use

    =CONCATENATE(A1, ", ", A2,", ", A3)

    If the three product codes were in A1 A2 and A3. It would help if you uploaded a sample sheet, though, because more than likely this is not exactly what you need...

    Edit: Uploaded the correct file (sorry and thanks again!)
    Sample Sheet.xlsx

    Here's a sample sheet with a similar structure.
    Again, it's two sheets in the same workbook. Notice how in sheet two, there are 3 colors and therefore 3 rows for each product number.
    The first sheet only has 3 rows, and what I want to happen is to take the colors from sheet two and put them on the cell in sheet one under the Colors column.
    Possibly with comma.

    I thought I was spending too much time figuring this out so I thought I'd suck it up and ask around.

    Many thanks

    Now is every product going to have exactly 3 colors or is it possible it is going to be variable?

    Here it is if you'll always have 3 colors:

    Thanks. But I should've made it clear that each product can have more or less than 3 colors. Some of them go as high up as 20 color variations!
