    Exclamation Merge multiple lists with blank rows

    I need to merge multiple lists into one which have empty rows.
    Attached is the sample data showing input data and output in separate sheets.

    Please advise.

    Attach a sample workbook (not image).

    Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. 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 shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Since you use office 365 could you post an xlsx file, instead of an xls (excel 2003) file.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    One way (of many...):

    in A2, an array fromula, copied across and down:

    =IFERROR(IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX(Data!A:A,SMALL(IF(Data!$A$3:$A$100<>"",ROW(Data!$A$3:$A$100)),ROWS($1:1))),INDEX(Data!E:E,SMALL(IF(Data!$E$3:$E$100<>"",ROW(Data!$E$3:$E$100)),ROWS($1:1)-(COUNTIF(Data!$A$3:$A$100,"<>"&""))))),INDEX(Data!I:I,SMALL(IF(Data!$I$3:$I$100<>"",ROW(Data!$I$3:$I$100)),ROWS($1:1)-(COUNTIF(Data!$A$3:$A$100,"<>"&"")+COUNTIF(Data!$E$3:$E$100,"<>"&""))))),"")

    This works for Excel 2007 and later. Is there any reason why you posted an outdated Excel 97-2003 .xls file?? It can be modified, but is LONGER by far.



    Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

    You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

    Please start your own thread (thread "hijacking" contravenes EF rules), and include a sample file for us to work with. Instructions for attaching a sample file are shown in the yellow banner at the top of the page.
