    duplicate serial numbers with multiple cells of text

    my spreadsheet has duplicate serial numbers in column A and the corresponding row in column B has mutliple descriptions for the same serial number. I need to combine those descriptions into 1 cell rather than having multiple rows for the same serial number. is there an IF formula that I can combine with a concatenate that will capture what I need?

    See if the following helps.
    Assuming your data begins in row #2,
    in cell C2 enter the formula

    and in cell D2 enter the formula

    and copy the formulas down to the end of your data.

    For this clean-up task, you keep the rows that contain descriptions in column D
    after copying and pasting column D formulas as values.
    View the attached Excel file to see how this works.
