Evaluate Multiple Cells for any Value

[Billy Daniel]

If this has been covered previously I did not find it an searches.
have several cells that I need to evaluate. These cells are not side b
side in columns but are on the same row. The cells will be blank excep
for one. After evaluation of all the cells, I need to return the valu
in the one cell that is not empty

EX: A1=""; D1=""; M1=""; R1=May 5; Z1=""

In cell AA1 I need to return only the value in the non-blank cell whic
is cell R1

How do I do this

Billy Daniel expressed precisely :

side in columns but are on the same row. The cells will be blank except
for one. After evaluation of all the cells, I need to return the value
in the one cell that is not empty.

EX: A1=""; D1=""; M1=""; R1=May 5; Z1="".

In cell AA1 I need to return only the value in the non-blank cell which
is cell R1.

How do I do this?

One way...

IF(LEN(A1),A1,IF(LEN(D1),D1,IF(LEN(M1),M1,IF(LEN(R1),R1,Z1))))
