Hi all!

I have a table that has a text formula. The text formula combines multiple fields (question and answers) and separates them using \<br\>. This is how i have it:

\<b\>question1\</b\> answer1

\<br\>

\<b\>question2\</b\> answer2

\<br\>

\<b\>question3\</b\> answer3

\<br\>

&nbsp;

For some records, some of the fields are empty so this is how it results:

\<b\>question1\</b\> answer1

\<br\>

\<b\>\</b\>

\<br\>

\<b\>question2\</b\> answer2

\<br\>

&nbsp;

In my table, the empty space would show and it would take so much space:

&nbsp;

Is there a code that I could use to hide the \<b\>\</b\>\<br\> if the \<b\>\</b\> was empty for this column/field?
