How to append columns of data

Hello,

I'm hoping to append multiple columns into 1 (so "stack" them).

In this case the first 5 columns would result in the Append column as shown below:

Normally I'd use Power Query in Excel but how can we achieve this in SmartSheets.

Thanks for any help with this

    The main problem is that a column formula will only extend to populated rows. You could technically add another column which is just a list of number (1,2,3, etc, as many as you need). Then you could use a formula like this:

    =INDEX(COLLECT([Col15]:[Column18], [Col15]:[Column18], NOT(ISBLANK(@cell))), [NumberedRowColumn]@row)
