Hey guys,

I'm trying to pull info from a number of cells into one cell, the only
thing is that the number of cells I'm referencing change, for example,
one cell might pull info from 3 cells below, and another might pull
info from the 8 cells below. Basically, I'm trying to pull info from
all the children items into a parent item. It should pull all the info
from the children until it hits a blank cell - that blank cell is the
new parent.

I have attached a screenshot of the sample data. In the first one, you
can see that D2 should pull all the info from D3 - D5, D6 should pull
info from D7 - D9, and D10 should pull all the info from D11-D16

Any help is appreciated!

Do you want to do this with formulas or code?

It's tricky with a formula because you want the result in the same
column as the data. Can I suggest using column E? Using MCONCAT
function from the MOREFUNC add-in you can use this formula in E2 copied
down

=IF(D2lt;gt;quot;quot;,D2,MCONCAT(D3:INDEX(D3100,MATCH(TRUE ,D3100=quot;quot;,0))))

confirmed with CTRL SHIFT ENTER

MOREFUNC add-in is available to download from here
