| Country 1 | Country 2 | Country 3 | Country |
| null | Malaysia | Malaysia | Malaysia |
| blank | Malaysia | null | Malaysia |
| Brunei | null | null | Brunei |
Thanks and Regards,
Hopes.

reHi @Fathopes ,
you add a column with this forumla
List.Select ( { [Country 1], [Country 2], [Country 3] }, (l) => l <> null and l <> "") {0}
It grabs the first value from the column at is neither null nor blank.
