    Join table into text with headers and bullet points.

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if there is a way to covert a table into a single cell with bullets

    For example, table like this:

    Letters = Header
    Numbers = Bullet points

    A B C D E
    1 1 Blank 1 1
    2 2 Blank 2 2
    3 Blank Blank Blank 3
    Blank Blank Blank Blank Blank
    Blank Blank Blank Blank Blank

    Turns above table into text in one cell, ignoring blanks including a header (C) with no bullets, like this:

    A
    - 1
    - 2
    - 3
    B
    - 1
    - 2
    D
    - 1
    - 2
    E
    - 1
    - 2
    - 3

    Thank you in advance.

    Jason

    It would help if you attached a sample file, as described in the yellow banner at the top of the screen.
