    Create list of unique descriptions for each term

    Hi -
    I have a spreadsheet with a list of unique codes.
    Each of those codes has a different description at our different facilities.

    For each of those unique codes, I want to list a distinct instance of the descriptions.

    For example - here is a sample of my codes and descriptions:

    Code___Description1_____Description2_____Description3___Description4

    7001 bottle can can aluminum_can
    7002 wine beer liquor wine
    7003 pretzel popcorn snack pizza

    I want to see -

    7001 bottle can aluminum_can
    7002 wine beer liquor
    7003 pretzel popcorn snack pizza

    I'm pretty sure there is a fairly simple way to draw this out...
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Why not try the CONCATENATE formula...

    CONCATENATE(Code," ",Description1," ",Description2," ",Description3," ",Description4)
