Ok, Here’s the scoop. I have a Google Form - response form that I want to take the input of 50 first names and 50 last names from the response form which is in one row and move it to a Master sheet where it will be split into two columns with the first name in one column and the email for that individual in the next row. I’ve tried having it set up as the Line-Item Properties with First Name (in order) and second Properties with Email. Didn’t work. I then created a Line-Item of Users with First Name | Email to redirect a Column on the Master Sheet where I have a User Column which the splits the first name into another column and the email into another column. 
I also have tried looping all of this only to have the frustration of it all dumping into one row. 
What am I doing wrong in Formatter???

Hi there ​@Ask Andre 👋

It doesn’t sound like it’s an issue with how you’ve set up the Formatter action. If you’re using a Create Spreadsheet Row action within the loop and it’s adding all the information into a single row rather than multiple ones then it could be that you’ve selected the preview_loop_values field. 🤔 That is meant for preview purposes only, to show you all the data that would be used for each individual loop. You can learn more about this here: Loop your Zap actions

That said, as you’re using Formatter to create line items and passing it to Google sheets which supports line items, you can probably get rid of the Looping step entirely. Instead, you’d use the line items in a Create Multiple Spreadsheet Rows (Google Sheets) action. That should ensure that the data is added across multiple rows.

Hope that helps. If you run into any issues on that just let me know! 🙂
