I'm working on a multi sheet spreadsheet in Excel 2003 and I'm having trouble working out the right formula to use. Here's what I'm trying to do:
- enter text (multiple lines of text) in cell A3 in 6 individual sheets (named 2B.1, 2B.2, 2D, JEFMS, MEMS & DLSP);
- on the first sheet (named Matrix) I want to type 1 or 0 or something similar to indicate true or false (currently using 1 and 0 and conditional formatting to change colours to red or green) in cells !Matrix#D5-I5 through to !Matrix#D48-I48 (I'm ok up until this point..)
- now I want to have a formula in the KeyMessages column !Matrix#M5 through to !Matrix#M48 which will look at the 1s and 0s and for every 1 it will copy the text in A3 of each of other six sheets (2B.1, 2B.2 etc) and concatenate them into the one cell M5 through to M48).

Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
