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?

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
How about
Excel Formula:
=INDEX($I$1:$M$1,MATCH("Yes",I2:M2,0))
