Data List

I have data in a long column with many blank fields.  I want a list created eliminating the blank fields and keeping all the data.  How do I do this?

    With the below example, if your question is, can I do something like =FILTER(B2:E11, B2:E11 <> "") then the answer is no*

     

    What you can do (in G-J) is to match the month (SEP, OCT...) in B-K, get the values then filter them

    In G2 then copy right:

     

    =LET(
        MonthData, XLOOKUP(G1, $B1:$E1, $B2:$E11),
        FILTER(MonthData, MonthData <> "")
    )

     

     

    * Doable with 365, ex:

    =TRANSPOSE(
      TEXTSPLIT(
        TEXTJOIN(",",,BYCOL(MonthData, LAMBDA(r, TEXTJOIN(";",,r)))),
        ";",",",,,""
      )
    )
