In this thread I got the correct answer, but when I delete the values in columns B and C there are no results
Here is the google sheets formula
=INDEX(IFERROR(SPLIT(FLATTEN(FLATTEN(
FILTER(A2:A; A2:A<>"")&"×"&TRANSPOSE(
FILTER(B2:B; B2:B<>"")))&"×"&TRANSPOSE(
FILTER(C2:C; C2:C<>""))), "×"))
INPUT
A | B | C |
---|---|---|
car | red | AA |
train | yellow | BB |
blue | CC | |
DD |
OUPUT
I want when I delete the values in B and C to have the result like below.
A |
---|
car |
train |
If I just delete the result in column C, I get the result with 6 rows like below.
A | B |
---|---|
car | red |
car | yellow |
car | blue |
train | red |
train | yellow |
train | blue |
use:
=INDEX(SPLIT(FLATTEN(FLATTEN(
FILTER(A2:A, A2:A<>"")& IF(LEN(TRIM(QUERY(B2:B,,9^9))),"×"&TRANSPOSE(
FILTER(B2:B, B2:B<>"")), ))&IF(LEN(TRIM(QUERY(C2:C,,9^9))),"×"&TRANSPOSE(
FILTER(C2:C, C2:C<>"")), )), "×"))
