hi!
i'm trying using this:
Excel Formula:
=FILTER('99'!L2:L150,'99'!L2:L150<>0)
but since in sheet 99 there's formula that join the cells g3:k3
Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN("-",TRUE,G3:K3)
the filter function read the array l2:l150 with the blanks
any solutions?

22
ABCDEFGHIJ
21234561-2-3-4-5-61-2-3-4-5-6
3 
47891011127-8-9-10-11-127-8-9-10-11-12
999
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
J2:J4J2='999'!H2:H4
H2:H4H2=TEXTJOIN("-",TRUE,A2:F2)
Dynamic array formulas.



as alternative solution
can this vba by johnnyL be edited to return results in same lines without creating blanks?

        Next k
    Next i
 
    GetCombinations = lOutput

right now is like this:

22
ABCDEFGHIJK
2123456
312345
412346
512356
612456

127891112
1378101112
1479101112
1589101112
999


wanted result:

212345612345
312346
412356
512456
613456
