    Best method to summarize specifications of products

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to build a specification sheet of a single product in my excel-database.

    For this I have a database with rows filled with 0's and 1's, the first row has the names of the functions each product has, or hasn't.

    Now on another worksheet I want to summarize all functions the product has. I know I can hide products with a 0 (with IF), but then it leaves a blank space, wich looks ugly. Is there an easy option with formulas or another method to summarize the functions in a clean, organised way?

    I've included a screenshot to make my explanation more clear.
    The formula I use now just shows the Title of the column when 1, and " " when it's 0.

    Thanks alot for your help, and greetings.

    EDIT: in the screenshot I use green and red markers to visualize the 0's and 1's.

    If anyone would want to have a look at the full file:

    The easiest way to see what I mean is if you go to the Sheet: Datasheet. And in the selector on the left you, switch between "Testerke" and any other product while keeping an eye at what happens on your right, below "Beschikbare Aansluitingen"

    Maybe you can write what you want to change in the file.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Thanks for looking into this. Like you can see in the screenshot on the first post, I want the specifications the product has, summed up in a visually attractive way, showing only the specs it has. The way I do it now just hides the specs it doesn't have, creating ugly empty fields.
