Draw several entries from another worksheet and enter them in one cell separated by manual line breaks

Dear Experts:

I wonder whether the following is feasible with a formula:

I would like to draw the WashingCode Descriptions for different items and enter them in the Column that has got the Description_Formula Header.

The code descriptions are to be separated by a manual line break.

Is this feasible with a formula or do I need VBA programming?

I have attached a similar sample table for your convenience.

Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas


ItemCode     WashingCode_1    WashingCode_2      WashingCode_3          Description_Formula
Z1                         101                             102                        103                                 Sterile
                                                                                                                                        Manual Washing
                                                                                                                                        No Rubbing
                                                                                                                                     
Z2                         102                             104                       105                                   Manual Washing
                                                                                                                                        Dry Cleaning
                                                                                                                                        Mild Detergents



On the Second Worksheet (named WashingCodes) the WashingCodes are listed in a table along with their description

WashingCodes                   Description
101                                           Sterile
102                                           Manual Washing
103                                           No Rubbing
104                                           Dry Cleaning
105                                           Mild Detergents

In F use the following formula:

=VLOOKUP(B2,Tabelle1[#All],2,FALSE)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(C2,Tabelle1[#All],2,FALSE)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(D2,Tabelle1[#All],2,FALSE)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(E2,Tabelle1[#All],2,FALSE)

Format the cell with Wrap Text enabled.

CHAR(10) is the Ascii code for a Carriage Return.

Hi Koen,

wow this is awesome, exactly as I wanted it

Hi Rob,
will test it this afternoon and then let you know.

Thank you to both of you ...
Rob Henson

Koen's file has the exact same formula as I posted in my first comment.  The second version just allows for error trapping.
