I have columns for Ethnicity in this student data but the values are split across five columns (see attached). I need to fill in the Purple column (Column N) with a single Ethnicity value. So Row 2 would be "White", Row 12 would be "Black". I have been trying for 30 minutes and I just can't find a way to make this work.

Any thoughts?
