I currently have a response form where people are submitting requests for different items. Not every item is requested every time. The end goal is to automatically have them receive an email with a list of each item they requested after submitting the form.

Using =rangetoverticaltable from Form Mule, a Google Sheets add-on, you get a pretty table as below

The end goal is to get the same table returned but with the "water" column being filtered out as it is blank, i.e.:

I've read this post multiple times and I can't seem to figure out if the answer at the end of the post closes with it isn't possible or I'm missing a step.
I am currently using the formula
=arrayformula(if(not(isblank(A$2:A)),RANGETOVERTICALTABLE(FILTER($A$2:$E,A$2:A=A$2),$A$1:$E$1),""))
and this generates the first table as shown.

What can I add into the filter() section to remove the rows that have empty cells in column B?

The link to the google sheet is here.

Any ideas?

  • Welcome. Please try to use FILTER or QUERY (built-in functions) using rangetoverticaltable as the first argument of them.

  • Thanks for the reply. I should have been more clear in where I am getting stuck.

  • If all you're looking to do is add a condition to the FILTER statement, you could just add ,$B$2:$B<>"" just before the closing parentheses on FILTER()
