    Concatenating together a series of IF statements to diplay a conditional list of numbers

    Hi All

    I have a spreadsheet with the columns "criterion_1", "criterion_2" and criterion_3" with the row entry for each column being either "Yes", "No" or "Not Known".

    What I want is a formula which will give the criteria numbers which have been met (i.e. row entry "Yes") in a comma separated list.

    The formula I have written is

    However with this formula if only one criterion is met then I get the number followed by a comma (i.e. 1,)

    How would I rewrite the formula so that I do not get a comma if only one criterion is met?
