Minor Concatenate problem

[scottydogg84]

Dear all,

I'm currently trying to join three name fields but only if it matches specific criteria.

I have a Name field (column A) which contains either surname(s) or a company name. I have the title in 'column B' which will only have data IF 'Column A' is a surname then column C which is initials which again, will only have data if column A is a surname.

In column D i'm trying to get the result of combined name so if A2=Smith, B2=Mr, C2=M i would want Smith, Mr M in column D BUT as the data in column A might be a company (i.e. Title and initials = NULL) then i just want column A repeated.

For example:
