Hi -

Example:

Hi @VMR 

The quickest way to do so is using the multirow formula but it depends on the parsing that you are doing to the file. 

find attached an image of the example. I have parsed the .txt file as a flat with a fixed width.

 

The formula inside the image:

 

if [Row+1:Field_1]!="" and [Field_1]!=""
then [Row+1:Field_1] else "" endif
