I have a column that has some cells filled with text, and some blank. I want to create a separate column that returns only the cells filled with text, ignoring blanks. I've shown what I mean in a table below. Is anyone able to help with this?

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 100"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Column with data[/TD]
[TD]Return with formula [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Text[/TD]
[TD]Text[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Text[/TD]
[/TR]

[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
