Can I display all the values from a column on one sheet to another?

Matt Desjardin

Hello Smartsheets,

I'm attempting to have a sheet which can display the values of a particular column on "sheet A" to a column on "sheet b." Sheet A's column has repeat information (job names) that associate with different items. So the job name on Sheet A shows up multiple times with different items in different rows. I just want to display the job names on Sheet A into a column on Sheet B once, as a way to keep track of "current jobs." I was trying to use JOIN/DISTINCT/COLLECT to display the job names once in a column. Essentially mirror the values into one column but display them once. But it seems I cannot get this to work. Is it possible? Thanks in advance, I was working with this simple formula currently:

=JOIN(DISTINCT(COLLECT({Jobs})))

Trying to use this as a column formula to fill the column with the different job names from sheet A.

You would first insert a text/number column (called "Number" in this example) on sheet B and then manually enter the numbers 1 through however many you need plus a suggested buffer. Then in the column you want to display the list in you would use:

=IFERROR(INDEX(DISTINCT({Jobs}), Number@row), "")

Thank you for the response I'll try it out! Appreciate the assistance.

Hi Paul,

Is there a way to do this without using the Distinct function?

Many values in I'm looking to return are duplicates. And the source sheet is fed by a form; it continuously updates so I can't use a numbered "Helper" column in the source sheet.
