I am looking for a formula that will return values based on the order that they appear in Column A with the requirement that the country is skipped if the Column B value is 0.

This has to be done across multiple columns as in examples in Column D to K - because it is intended to be pasted into Word as a table with least possible vertical space.


Column AColumn BColumn DColumn EColumn FColumn GColumn HColumn IColumn JColumn K

This sort of works except it puts the countries in order across columns instead of rows.

It also goes across too many columns to be practical for a Word paste.

I should have mentioned that I am limited to 8 columns total (or 4 columns of country names).

This is what it looks like on a larger dataset. I will see if I can tweak your formula.

Changing this part of the formula limits to the 8 columns I was looking for, but I do not understand how to change from columns to rows - "CEILING(ROWS(f)/10,2)"

This works perfectly, thanks so much.
