How to consolidate a document that has blanks
Hi,
I have a grid I stored comments on questions from customer. some question may not have been answered so it results in the cell being blank.
I would like to get to another document where all the available answers are consolidated, with no blank cells.
Below a screenshot of an example document.
so ideally I would like to end up in a situation like the below
Any idea?

An idea is to use Smartsheet SDK (Smartsheet Developers) . Psuedo code
From column -- Comment1 to Comment3
From row -- Pippo to Caccola
If the current cell -- cell(row, column) -- is blank, go to the next column to find a non-blank value, if any, until you find a non-blank value, or you arrive at the last column (Comment3)
then iterate to
Next row,
Next column

Hi @DanS ,
I've never used the SDK, but i'll take a look.
is this a free module? or does it require additional licensing?

It is free, but will require knowledge in writing scripts. For my projects, I use Smartsheet's Python SDK - smartsheet-platform/smartsheet-python-sdk: Library that uses Python to connect to Smartsheet services (using API 2.0). (github.com)
