Dear Experts,

Request your support in generating excel formula for below query,

Basically I have excel containing 4 columns, having unique data. I need a formula that can compare data in 4 columns and return only unique values in a new colum with '+' separator, removing any duplicates. Sample screenshot is attached.

Try this

Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN("+",,UNIQUE(TRANSPOSE(A2:D2)))

2 (without TEXTJOIN)
Excel Formula:
=LEFT(CONCAT(TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(TRANSPOSE(A2:D2)))&"+"),LEN(CONCAT(TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(TRANSPOSE(A2:D2)))&"+"))-1)
