Excel Formula

I need to create a formula that will allow me to combine (CONCACTENATE) data if a certain field is not null.  Here is a sample of what I have tried but it does not work correctly.

 =IF(Completion!C11,CONCATENATE(Completion!A12," -       ",Completion!C12,"   ",Completion!D12,", ",Completion!E12),"")

 What I am trying to make it do is:

     * Check sheet Completion! in cell C11 for text value data.

     * If not null, combine data from the specified cells and  display it as specified.

 I have tested the concactenate formula by itself and it works fine.

 I am currently testing the IF formula.

I have a great idea -Changing the world ..., what to do? See Tim Berners-Lee's (founder of www) FAQ section.

=IF(A1="Test";"concatenate"&" this "&"and that";)

Try using the ISBLANK function...

=IF(ISBLANK(Completion!C11),"",CONCATENATE(Completion!A12," -       ",Completion!C12,"   ",Completion!D12,", ",Completion!E12))

[NB: if you want the TRUE, FALSE segments of the IF in the order in your question you will need...

 =IF(NOT(ISBLANK(Completion!C11)),CONCATENATE(Completion!A12," -       ",Completion!C12,"   ",Completion!D12,", ",Completion!E12),"")

Or more simply!! 

 =IF(Completion!C11<>"",CONCATENATE(Completion!A12," -       ",Completion!C12,"   ",Completion!D12,", ",Completion!E12),"")
