Hi all,

Wondering if you can help, although I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this haha.

Basically I am creating a grocery list generator (or attempting to) where on one sheet is a list of recipes and their ingredients and optional extra ingredients, with check boxes (see image). If a check box for a meal or extra is ticked, I ideally would want all the ingredients for that meal/extra to copy through onto a different sheet to create my grocery list.

Not sure if this involves some complicated code that isn't doable in Google Sheets, but I would ideally like it to be collaborative with my partner hence why it's on this platform. If necessary though I can use a desktop version of Excel.

Alternatively if there is another way of doing it that doesn't involve check boxes, let me know!

TIA, Robyn

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
