Removing blanks from Join Collect output

I have a sheet that is pulling in data for metrics from another sheet. Using Join(Collect() I get the output I want but, it does include the blank cells from the range. I would like to not have them included….

=JOIN(COLLECT({PECR Range 6}, {PECR 2}, Region1), SUBSTITUTE([Column6]1, "-", ""))

    @Darren Mullen ,

    Thanks, tired this out but it came back as #UNPARSEABLE :( I did go back to my reference sheet just to double check that the 'blank' spaces were actually blank, and they are.

    HOWEVER… if you substitute not(blank(@cell)) with not(isblank(@cell)) we are golden :) Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
