TextJoin returning 0 values despite content being in the originating field
- Jun 17, 2024
The formula concatenates values from column AL:
=TEXTJOIN(" • ",TRUE,FILTER('Master Grid'!$AL187:$AL288,'Master Grid'!S187:S288="x",""))
The text "Leading through conflict is in E211, not in AL211. That's why the formula doesn't return it.
Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?
I saved a copy of the two tabs. However, the formulas in the "Seminars by Core Discipline" are still pulling from the original document. But you should be able to at least see the content it's supposed to be pulling from and see if there's something wrong with the rows in the master grid tab. Thanks!

Try
=TEXTJOIN(" • ",TRUE,FILTER('Master Grid'!$AL187:$AL288,'Master Grid'!S187:S288="x",""))

I tried that, and it just removed the "0"s that were showing up in the list. But it's still not pulling in the actual data from the master grid.
At the top of the master grid it says to not use "shift cells up" or "shift cells down" if adding new rows. Is it possible that someone did that and it's causing this issue?

The formulas look at rows 187 to 288 on the Master Grid sheet. If you want to include data from rows higher up, you'll have to change the starting number 187 in the formulas.
