Hi Guys

I have 3 columns A2:C10 where i put an Id in ie 12345
now some cells could have blanks, an Id or multiple Ids separated by a comma

what i want to be able to do is if the cell has an id or multiple ids then create a string like this
<found>
for some reason its lost my string concat

it should be like this

(Found)
(ID)123456(/ID)
(/Found)


(Found)
(ID)555555(/ID)
(/Found)


<found><found><found><found><found>If the cell is blank then skip over it and dont process it
If all cells are blank the exit sub saying no data to import

I hope this makes sense

thank
you</found></found></found></found></found></found>

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Multiple id's separated by a comma, or a comma then space?
Where do you want the stings to go?
And in what format? Is it

(Found)
(ID)123456(/ID)
(/Found)

(Found)
(ID)123457(/ID)
(/Found)

or

(Found)(ID)123456(/ID)(/Found)(Found)(ID)123457(/ID)(/Found)

If there's only 1 id in a cell, is it just

(Found)
(ID)123456(/ID)
(/Found)

or

(Found)(ID)123456(/ID)(/Found)

Are you happy with a VBA solution, or do you want Power Query or formula's?

Hi

I need it in this format and it will need to be VBA

(Found)
(ID)123456(/ID)
(/Found)

(Found)
(ID)123457(/ID)
(/Found)

it should be stored in sheet output cell A1

problem is that it should be seperated by a comma then space but sometimes agents could do it in just comma or comma then space or double space so will need to get values only between the commas
