Hello. Please help.

I am concatenating a range of cells into a single cell with a new line for each cell that I am adding. I am using Alt-enter while writing the formula to add a new line. This works fine except if there is an empty cell it leaves a blank line in the concatenated cell.

I want:

dog
cat
egg

I'm currently getting:

dog
cat
___ (blank)
egg

Is there a way to only perform Alt-Enter if cell is populated?
My current formula looks like this:

=IF(EO5="","",EO5&"
"&IF(EP5="","",EP5&"
"&IF(EQ5="","",EQ5)))

Any help much appreciated.

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Try...

=SUBSTITUTE(IF(EO5="","",EO5&"#")&IF(EP5="","",EP5&"#")&IF(EQ5="","",EQ5),"#",CHAR(10))

And activate "Wrap text" for the formula cell.
