Automatically extending a column data without adding zeros

Copper Contributor

I have created a workbook with two sheets.  My first sheet contains raw reporting data.  The second sheet is used to automatically filter the columns I care about.  On a daily basis, I will copy and paste new raw data into sheet 1, with sheet 2 automatically filtering the raw data. 

 

I created the following simple function in the second sheet:

 

=('Raw Data'!C1:C100)

 

So it properly imports everything from C1 and below until I get to no content and it automatically adds zeros at the end.  For example, if I only had 45 column data cells in column C then 46 to 100 will populate with 0.

 

How do I write this function to say populate C1 to whenever the data stops?

I do something similar with this function bringing in data from a separate workbook. The FILTER function does require the most recent version of Excel.

 

=FILTER([Source.xls]Worksheet1!$A$5:$T$100,[Source.xls]Worksheet1!$A$5:$A$100<>"")

 

It pulls in from Source.xls all rows and columns (up to column T) that have something in column A, stops when it reaches blank cells. 

 

Here's a good video that explains the FILTER function if you're not familiar with it.
