Getting rid of empty cells and moving cells closer together.

I am trying to clean up some invoices and when imported to Alterytx they get kinda funky. I know I can user the cleaner tool to get rid of the Null values but than Im just left with a blank cell. 

 

Invoice Date6/16/2020NullNullNull
Customer ID:NullNullNull 123456
Order #:Null 567890NullNull
Item IDNullNullNull 12221
Item Serial #NullNull9876545678 Null

This is what I would it to look like. I want to be able to eliminate the empty cells and pull the other values in to the adjacent cell. 

Invoice Date6/16/2020
Customer ID: 123456
Order #: 567890
Item ID 12221
Item Serial #9876545678

hi @Inactive User ,

 

you can transpose the data and filter out nulls to get your end result.

Thanks that seems to be exactly what I need. One slight problem. On my workflow for some reason the null is greyed out so it doesn't seem to filter out he null rows like it does for your example here.

hi @Inactive User ,

 

In your filter try to use "isnull" that should help!
