Hello,

I’m trying to join two cells (Column A and Column B) into Column C using TEXTJOIN.  In that some of the cells in Column B are blank, I need a formula that recognizes these blank cells and only captures the text in Column A and without referencing the delimiter.

The formula I tried (IF(b2=” “,a2, TEXTJOIN(“/”,TRUE,a2:b2))) doesn’t work.  

Can you help?  Thank you.

Hi M K,

What do you mean 'it doesn't work'? You don't get the result you want? You have an error message?

Here is an example on the sheet 'Sheet2'.

BR,

Lionel

TEXTJOIN already has the option to ignore blank cells, so just:

=TEXTJOIN("/",TRUE,a2:b2)

should work.
