I’m using a GPT to generate 3 prompts I can add to a google sheet. On start it creates the content but adds it in one long string. ![Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 6.46.53 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/b/d/bdd7ee0efecc620f228cbd1e9c3e9de083e268e0.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 6.47.19 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/c/3/c3dad3fe5cc5b6e652ec624c000183117875284b.jpeg) No problem. I’ll use a text parser to extract the three outputs ( using ||| as a delimiter) ![Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 6.47.35 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/0/2/02eb17a69c9d34b53da7d5cbc4c2a397848e897d.jpeg) However it outputs many more bundles than the 3 i need. ![Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 6.49.44 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/4/140c7323f001b1d2e8ceb7222a6e5fc122bf146c.png) 10 to be exact: ![Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 6.54.28 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/d/a/da347c063d8285e369e565e4f475224d17bf76e8.png) Makers, help! ---

Hey Ed, add a filter to check if Value exists. This should be the easiest solution. ---

> [@Stoyan\_Vatov](#): > > add a filter to check if Value exists. Thanks for responding. The value exists. It’s just more values than requested. Is there a way I can share this scenario to take a look? ---

After the text parser module → click on the dotted line to add a filter and in there specify if the value exists. This way only the 3 bundles where the value exists will pass forward and the 7 where it doesn’t will be ignored. ---

Let me give it a shot. Is this correct? ![Screenshot 2025-07-09 at 10.16.43 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/1/815380cbdea32884a875ee9bc6531dc8943b2a72.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-07-09 at 10.16.25 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/c/5/c5c6e270d1102449b2371bddda8b18cc64ed49ad.jpeg) ---

Thanks Its filtering but not sure how to get the right records to add to the sheet. See below ![Screenshot 2025-07-09 at 10.20.48 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/e/a/ea35d09ded8fe3232c4b7946afc0bf089b468808.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-07-09 at 10.21.06 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/3/5/35f48b2fe418bdc76faedd614121aac29eeda73d.jpeg) @Stoyan_Vatov thanks ---

You map the Value variable. Then only bundles where a Value variable exists will be added to the sheet. ---
