Combining multiple length columns to one

Hello,

I have the following problem:

I have 4 columns that contain a different number of cells.

How do I combine the cells of those 4 colums to one column, without having blank cells in (due to the different number of cells per column)

Thanks.

Do you mean something like this

=A1 & A2 & A3 & A4

This will set each value in the four cells into one cell. Something like:
A1: Test1
A2: Test2
A3:
A4: Test4

The cell with the formula: Test1Test2Test4

You can use Pivot Table with these caveats:
Output will be sorted and
duplicate numbers will be consolidated.
Select: multiple consolidation ranges.
Include a blank row and column to the left and top
of your data when you specify the consolidation range.
Layout: Drag Row and Column field buttons from the diagram
and drag Value into the row field.
Options: Uncheck grand totals

Or if you prefer formulas...
Insert > Name > Define
array1 Refers To: =$A$1:$C$4
rowm Refers To: =ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,ROWS(array1)))
colm Refers To: =COLUMN(INDEX(1:1,1):INDEX(1:1,COLUMNS(array1)))
asize Refers To: =ROWS(array1)*COLUMNS(array1)
maxr Refers To: =1000
seque Refers To:
=ROW(INDEX(A:A,asize-COUNTA(array1)+1):INDEX(A:A,asize))
coro Refers To: =SMALL(IF(array1="",0,maxr*colm+rowm),seque)

Select 9 rows (9=counta(array1)) and enter (CSE) this array formula:
=INDEX(array1,RIGHT(coro,LOG(maxr)),INT(coro/maxr))

If you need more than 1000 rows, add zeros to maxr.
