Default Strip Flat File Table into less entries

Hi thanks for that, I think you might have misunderstood the challenge, my
fault if so.

I don't need a count it is just that a nested table was presented in a
clumsy way i.e.

Level 3 | Level 2 | Level 1

which led to lots of duplication since I just wanted
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3

All I did was this

Fruit | Citrus | Orange
Fruit | Citrus | Lemon
Meat | Beef | Filet
Meat | Beef | Pork
Vegetable | Green | Broccoli
Vegetable | Green | Lettuce
Vegetable | Orange | Carrot

and copy partial columns down and then got rid of dupes!

Thanks though!

Merry Christmas!

Hey thanks for all that. I did paste in and nothing happened, tried typing by
hand and get a "Formula contains an error" though :(
