    Extract a list from a column - excluding blanks

    Hello Forum,

    Please can you help me with a formula to extract a list from BR29:BR218 in attached doc - excluding blanks.

    The first formula should be in cell CD 29.

    Formulas should continue down to CD218, but should be blank when there is no data (iferror?).

    I'd prefer a non-array formula (someone else will be maintaining the file) unless there is no other option than array.

    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Try

    =IFERROR(INDEX($BR$29:$BR$300,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($BR$29:$BR$300),ROW($BR$29:$BR$300)-ROW($BR$29)+1,""),ROWS($B$29:B29))),"")

    Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    Once entered down to final row no other intervention is required.

    John, thank you for your super quick response - that works excellently, thank you

    I won't mark this resolve just in case I can get a non-array formula.

    Huge thanks, John!

    cd29=IFERROR(INDEX($BR:$BR,SMALL(INDEX((ISTEXT($BR$29:$BR$218)+ISBLANK($BR$29:$BR$218))*10^10+ROW($BR$29:$BR$218),0),ROWS(CD$29:CD29))),"")

    Thank you for the rep.

    You now have your non-array formula from Silva: I must try and remember how to do this as it is a fairly common request.
