Hi all!

Is there a way I can stack data that are in multiple rows/columns with a formula?  I need it to dynamic and updates as the changes are made.

If I have a range like below.  (Sorry about the size, it wouldn't stay when I try to resize it)

a        
  b h i  
    c   j
      d  
g       e
  f      

And I want the results to be like (order isn't important, I'd probably use the sort function anyways.)

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j

Thanks in advance!

If you happen to be an MS365 subscriber AND an Insider with access to recently rolled-out functions, this one will do it for you:

=SORT(TRANSPOSE(TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A:E),",")))

An alternative is to unpivot your data with Power Query

 

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}}),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{"Attribute"}),
#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Removed Columns",{{"Value", Order.Ascending}})
in
#"Sorted Rows"

If you have the new Insider beta functions, it's actually even simpler:

=SORT(TOCOL(A1:E6,1))

for example.
