hi all,

I have a sheet where in every row there are many blank cells and 3 cells have data in them, all in different columns. ie:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 350"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]data1
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]data2
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TD]data8

</tbody>[/TABLE]

I would like to delete all the empty cells and move all the data into the first 3 columns. ie:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1
[/TD]
[TD]data1
[/TD]
[TD]data2
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2
[/TD]
[TD]data3
[/TD]
[TD]data4
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3
[/TD]
[TD]data5
[/TD]
[TD]data6
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4
[/TD]
[TD]data7
[/TD]
[TD]data8
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
