Join+Collect by rows
Hello,
I am trying to create a smartsheet formula to aggregate summery information from an amendment sheet onto a master sheet. However, when I attempted to use join() +collect() my cell returned all date finalized collected then all #s collected and then all types collected. I want to return data in ROWS not COLUMNS.
In my screen shot I have provided a simple sheet displaying my problem. How can I create the "Desired formula" column?
Thank you for your help!

You will need a helper column on the source sheet that has a formula to output each string on every row.
=[Date Finalized]@row + ": #" + [#]@row + " type " + Type@row
Then in the second sheet you would use a JOIN/COLLECT along the lines of
=JOIN(COLLECT({Helper Column}, {Primary Key Column}, @cell = [Primary Key]@row), CHAR(10))
