Currently useing the following formula to put together a name string ex: [LAST, FIRST MIDDLE]:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE([@[LAST NAME]]&", "&[@[FIRST NAME]]&" "&[@[MIDDLE NAME]],".",""))
I am trying to add an IFERROR so if the preceding cells are blank then nothing will be returned. Only problem I am having is that the comma is being returned when everything else is blank. Any idea how I can have the comma only return when their is data present vs. not returning when no data is present.
Currently using Excel 2016
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

This totally works with one small modification:
=IF([@[LAST NAME]]="","",TRIM(SUBSTITUTE([@[LAST NAME]]&", "&[@[FIRST NAME]]&" "&[@[MIDDLE NAME]],".","")))
Thank you.
Hi.
=if(LAST NAME="","",TRIM(SUBSTITUTE([@[LAST NAME]]&", "&[@[FIRST NAME]]&" "&[@[MIDDLE NAME]],".","")))
