combine columns case sensitive

[already]

Hi

On a regular base I have to download text from the www.

The results are some columns in upper case and some columns in proper.

I have to merge those colums to 1 cell.

ex

A B C D E (required results)
LOTUS NOTES First Floor LOTUS NOTES First Floor
IBM Back Office IBM Back Office
HP Second Floor HP Second Floor

I have tried to do this with an IF formula using a combination of formulas as this
=IF(EXACT(J30;UPPER(J30));I30&" "&J30;"") but I run in to troubles.

Who can help me

Thanks in advance

Al

=a1&" "&b1&" "&c1&" "&d1

Thanks but ....

oeps I forgot to mention that I have to separate the upper case parts and the proper case parts with a "-"

Kind regards

Al

OK - this isn't going to get what you want IF you have a blank cell in any of the columns (you could make a long formula even longer if you want to do that), but if all 4 cells Cols A, B, C & D are populated, I believe this will do what you want.

(I'm sure there are folks out there who have better solutions than this!)

Formula in E1:
=A1&IF(ISERROR(AND(FIND(UPPER(A1),A1),FIND(PROPER(B1),B1)))," "&B1,IF(ISERROR(OR(AND(FIND(UPPER(A1),A1),FIND(UPPER(B1),B1)),AND(FIND(PROPER(A1),A1),FIND(PROPER(B1),B1))))," - "&B1," "&B1))&IF(ISERROR(AND(FIND(UPPER(B1),B1),FIND(PROPER(C1),C1)))," "&C1,IF(ISERROR(OR(AND(FIND(UPPER(B1),B1),FIND(UPPER(C1),C1)),AND(FIND(PROPER(B1),B1),FIND(PROPER(C1),C1))))," - "&C1," "&C1))&IF(ISERROR(AND(FIND(UPPER(C1),C1),FIND(PROPER(D1),D1)))," "&D1,IF(ISERROR(OR(AND(FIND(UPPER(C1),C1),FIND(UPPER(D1),D1)),AND(FIND(PROPER(C1),C1),FIND(PROPER(D1),D1))))," - "&D1," "&D1))

Thanks Rallcorn !!!

I will try this but unfortunately not all the columns are always populated!

the formula in F1 is:
=A2&" "
&IF(B2="","",IF(EXACT(UPPER(B2),B2),B2&" ",IF(EXACT(UPPER(A2),A2),"- "&B2&" ",B2&" ")))
&IF(C2="","",IF(EXACT(UPPER(C2),C2),C2&" ",IF(EXACT(UPPER(B2),B2),"- "&C2&" ",C2&" ")))
&D2

Hi Ganjin

Thanks for your reply

I have tried your formula but I have received an error

Kind regards

Hi Ganjin

I was confused with the F1 in your reply.

I think that I can build now a new formula based on yours.

Thanks
