Hi there, I have a google sheets table “Date, Description, Amount” there are several and dinamically filled rows.  
I can put them into an array (image attached)

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/4/f/4f1e487a6293b36d774d0da730c4f90e3317725f.png)

What I need is to format and store all data in one single variable in the following format:  
Date1 - Description1 - Amount1 | Date2 - Description2 - Amount2 | Date3 …n  
Where the numer is the collection number, more specifically taking the data from the image will be something like this :

2024 - Table - 496 | 2024-10-27 - Chair - 67 | and so on…

Is this possible?

Delete the Array Aggregator and use a Text Aggregator.

### Aggregators

Every result (item/record) from iterator/list/search/match modules will output a bundle. This can result in multiple bundles, which then trigger multiple operations in future modules (one operation per bundle). To “combine” multiple bundles into a single variable, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.

[Aggregators](https://www.make.com/en/help/modules/aggregator.html) are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the [Array aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/flow-control.html#array-aggregator) module. The next popular aggregator is the [Text Aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/tools.html#text-aggregator) which is very flexible and can apply to many use-cases like building of JSON, CSV, HTML.

There are other types of aggregator modules, click the below links to find out more:

- [Array aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/flow-control.html#array-aggregator)
- [Text aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/tools.html#text-aggregator)
- [Numeric aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/tools.html#numeric-aggregator)
- [Table aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/tools.html#table-aggregator)
- [JSON aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/json.html#aggregate-to-json)
- [CSV aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/apps/file-and-document-management/csv.html#create-csv)
- [Archive (ZIP) aggregator](https://www.make.com/en/help/apps/built-in-apps/archive.html#create-an-archive-973677)
- _other app-specific aggregators_

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

You can use a Text Aggregator like this:

The output should present like how you want.
