Hello,

I'd greatly appreciate some help with this:

I'm trying to get a list of data in cell "D5" only from cells "A1:A10" that do have information. I would like to have them separated by commas or, if possible, in a bulleted list.

I'm fairly new to this so I don't know if this could be done with formulas or with a Macro.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Morocog,

Separated by commas the formula would look like:
=IF(A1="","",A1)&IF(A2="","",","&A2)&IF(A3="","",","&A3)&IF(A4="","",","&A4)&IF(A5="","",","&A5)&IF(A6="","",","&A6)&IF(A77="","",","&A7)&IF(A8="","",","&A8)&IF(A9="","",","&A9)&IF(A10="","",","&A10)

For the bulleted list we will have to use macro:
Sub CreateBulletListInD5()

If Range("A1").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("A1").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A2").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A2").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A2").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A3").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A3").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A3").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A4").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A4").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A4").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A5").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A5").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A5").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A6").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A6").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A6").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A7").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A7").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A7").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A8").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A8").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A8").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A9").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A9").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A9").Value
If Range("D5").Value <> vbNullString And Range("A10").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Chr(10)
If Range("A10").Value <> vbNullString Then Range("D5").Value = Range("D5").Value & Range("A10").Value

End Sub

Why would you want to put more info into a single cell? This will make it harder to work with the data. Just curious what the reason could be.

Best regards,
Trowa

Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
The reason why I need this bulleted list is because it is the final result of a series of formulas working with text and I need a summary, in one cell, that could be printed (without the need of working with that data anymore), I know how odd it sounds. You were really helpful, both the formula and the macro worked like a charm.
