Hi there,

I have a below challenge in front of me. When ever the user inputs a value from source, that value should be first in the destination and the rest of source values should be sorted as below. Any inputs please. Below are examples

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="Source-cell">Source</th>
<th class="Input Cell-cell">Input Cell</th>
<th class="Output-cell">Output</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="firstRow">
<td class="Source-cell">abc</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell">abc</td>
<td class="Output-cell">abc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="Source-cell">xyz</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell"></td>
<td class="Output-cell">efg</td>
</tr>
<tr class="lastRow">
<td class="Source-cell">efg</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell"></td>
<td class="Output-cell">xyz</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>




<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="Source-cell">Source</th>
<th class="Input Cell-cell">Input Cell</th>
<th class="Output-cell">Output</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="firstRow">
<td class="Source-cell">abc</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell">xyz</td>
<td class="Output-cell">xyz</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="Source-cell">xyz</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell"></td>
<td class="Output-cell">abc</td>
</tr>
<tr class="lastRow">
<td class="Source-cell">efg</td>
<td class="Input Cell-cell"></td>
<td class="Output-cell">efg</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

M19 is an empty cell used as the starting point in the offset formula

F17 is the abc that the user has selected
