    Concatenate with several criteria and looping

    Hey all,

    So I was given a somewhat small data set of 3500 rows by 10 columns.
    The data set is very dirty. I need to clean it up as it is a mailing list.

    So here is what I want to do

    if columns B:G have values then concatenate columns (b," ","and",e," ", G) in cell __

    if columns B,C,D have valuees, but columns e,f,g are blank then concatenate b,c,d in cell ___

    if I can understand syntax for the above I can create the rest of the conditions on my own

    Then I need to loop this code down each row one at a time.

    I really want to understand the syntax so that I don't have to bother anyone in the future for conditional syntax.

    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Martinez

    Columns B & G or B thru G? What are you trying concatenate? and which cell is it supposed to go into?
    Thanks,
    Solus

    Correct B through G and I want the output to go to column A

    I am trying to concatenate names. There is a column for husband and wife prefix, first name, and last name each.
    Depending on what is present I need to concatenate those columns in a specific order as shown in my example.

    I hope that clarifies
    Thanks

    • Click Advanced (next to quick post),

    • Click that then select "add files" (top right corner).
    • Click "Select Files" find your file, click "open" click "upload"
    • Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.

    Re: Concatenate with several criteria and looping

    OK so that code does exactly what I described which is stellar. I am having trouble following the logic.
    If I wanted to add statements how would I go about it. My goal is to understand the syntax also.

    if x = 6 then statement confuses me. Could you explain?

    I will need for example to add a statement that states

    if columns bcd are empty, but columns efg are not then concatenate efg in column a.

    what would that statement look like?

    Thanks again

    I need to add a few more statements

    However, if you're going to add criteria you should probably use Select Case
