Combining Data From Many Cells Into One

Im putting together a pretty lengthy spreadsheet in google spreadsheets. This spreadsheet contains information about products ie name, brand, part number, ect... I was helped previ

Solution 1:

It is possible to use an Array solution, but you'd have to change a lot how you use formulas in your spreadsheet. The easiest solution is to use built-in spreadsheet formulas directly. There's no need for a custom Apps Script formula for this.

="Brand Name"&" "&A3&" "&B3&" "&(join(" x ";filter(E3:G3;E3:G3<>"")))&" "&K3

As shown by AdamL in the comments, here's an ArrayFormula solution that uses only built-in formulas.

=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A3:A),REGEXREPLACE("Brand Name "&A3:A&" "&B3:B&" "&REPT(E3:E&" x ",E3:E<>"")&REPT(F3:F&" x ",F3:F<>"")&REPT(G3:G&" x ",G3:G<>"")&CHAR(9)&" "&K3:K,"( x \t)|\t",""),))

As I said, such ArrayFormula style of solution can be used when writing custom Apps Script as well. I just don't think that's worth it when there's (arguably) simpler built-in solutions (but surely faster and way larger quotas).
