Grateful to those in this community who helped me set up my family’s bookstore inventory. It’s going well and I often recommend Airtable to others.
So now I’m using this formula…
Title & " • " Author & " • " Place & " • " Date
But because a number of books do NOT indicate author, place, or date, I sometimes end up with this:
Title • • • Date
That’s not great for catalogs. Is there a formula I can use that will leave off the extra bullet(s) when one or more of the fields are empty?
You can just do a simple IF() statement before each field to check if it exists.
So you can do this:
Title & IF(Author, " • " & Author) & IF(Place, " • " & Place) & IF(Date, " • " & Date)
You can just do a simple IF() statement before each field to check if it exists.

Title & IF(Author, " • " & Author) & IF(Place, " • " & Place) & IF(Date, " • " & Date)
Yay! ScottWorld for the win! Thanks so much!
