    Need to take a list of names in row A with blanks and create a new list without blanks

    Hi Guys,

    I have a list of names in collum A from A2 to A157 with blank cells inbetween some of the names. I want to create a new list without the blanks. The data in collum A is changing constantly show the NEW list should be changing as well.

    Thank you guys.

    Do you need the new list in column A, or in a seperate location e.g. in Column B, sheet 2 etc

    Let's assume the data is on Sheet1 in the range A2:A157.

    On some other sheet enter this array formula** in A2:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!A$2:A$157<>"",ROW(Sheet1!A$2:A$157)),ROWS(A$2:A2))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy down until you get blanks.

    Ok, array entered** in B11:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!A$2:A$157<>"",ROW(Sheet1!A$2:A$157)),ROWS(B$11:B11))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy down until you get blanks.
