Excel - Skip Blank Table Cells Formula

I have a table being created via an XML map so it has a lot of blank cells in each column. It looks like:

| Name | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | Stat 3|
| Test |        |        |       |
|      |  Four  |        |       |
|      |        |   5    |       |
|      |        |        |  102  |

Basically each row has only one value and I am trying to transpose it onto another worksheet where all the values are one row like this:

| Name | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | Stat 3 |
| Test |   Four |    5   |   102  |

In my searching I found this formula:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Table9[@name],SMALL(IF(Table9[@name]<>"",ROW(Table9[@name])-ROW(Table9[@name])+1),ROWS(A2))),"")

I set that and in A1 of another sheet and drag it down and it does return the populated cells but it is also returning 0 for all the blank cells instead of skipping them until it has a value to return.

There may be a better way to do this so I am open to other options but would prefer to avoid vba if possible.

Thanks.

Let's say input sheet is called Sheet1 and the Name is in cell A1 on both sheets. Then use following formula for Name on output sheet:

=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,(ROW()-2)*4+2)

and for Stat 1:

=INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,(ROW()-2)*4+3)

and so on ... more generally:

=INDEX(
  input_column_range,
  (ROW()-first_row_in_output)*number_of_columns + first_row_in_input+column_index
)
