    Creating a table or summary? Not sure how to describe it

    Hi everyone,

    I've attached a picture of what I need done. Long story short, we are transitioning from an old template to a new one, and so there are thousands of lines that need reformatting for the new software. I have a column, 1-10, marked by "x"s, and I wanted to create a "summary" column which gives a summary of what columns have "x"s in them for which rows. I know that sounds confusing, so let me explain via the attached image:

    Column K shows that row 3 has an X for column data 5 & 8, therefore the output is 5 & 8.

    So far I've been doing this by hand, but I realized there must be a more efficient way of doing so. Also, is there any way to have it ignore the grey shaded boxes? They are just summaries of the next few lines and will be deleted anyway.

    Thank you all so much in advance. Untitled.png

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    There might be an easier way but this seems to work. To hide the shaded rows, Conditional formatting was used...white text on white background.
