Hi guys, I've been trying to work this out no no avail. I have a drop-down list that references a Table with 4 categories. The first space blank cell is shown as a space, but any spaces thereafter are not shown. Im guessing it's using some sort of UNIQUE searching under the hood. Is there a way to show ALL blank cell gaps as spaces?

Short of putting a different of spaces in each empty cell, I don't think so.
