How to pull multiple column data from another sheet
I am using the JOIN(COLLECT()) formula to pull data from another sheet. The issue is I can only pull from one column at a time. Is it possible to pull data from several columns using the JOIN(COLLECT()) referencing data from another sheet?
This is the current formula that I am using:
=JOIN(COLLECT({Roles/Access Range 6}, {Roles/Access Range 3}, [Department Cost Center]@row, {Roles/Access Range 1}, Position@row), ",")
I was wondering if the range "{Role/Access Range 6}" can be multiple columns.

Hello @RDRGSJ00
On your source Sheet I would suggest adding a column and inputting your JOIN(COLLECT()) formula there so you can reference the multiple columns you want as one range. Then, you could use a simple lookup formula like INDEX(MATCH()) to pull this data in from that one column. Would that work?
