From: Dave Peterson on 1 Apr 2010 13:02 3 columns 1 column 3 columns 1 column 3 columns 1 column (and on and on and on) right? I'd put this in D1: =A2 Put this in D2: =NA() Select D1:D2 (both cells!) and drag down as far as your data goes. (Give it a glance to make sure that the data looks right before you continue. Then select column D Edit|copy Edit|Paste special|Values Select column D (again if you have to) Ctrl-g (or F5 or edit|goto) Special|Check constants, but only check Errors (uncheck the other options). This will change the selection to just the cells with errors. Rightclick on one of the cells Delete Entire row KKD wrote: > > the data is fairly simple: > > 1234 abcd xyz > Name > > I want the data piece "name" to be moved into the above row in its own cell. > > 1234 abcd xyz Name > > When I bring the data in, I am using the "text to columns" function as it > all comes into column A only. > > If you think a macro is the only way, can you instruct how to go about that? > -- > KKD > > "מיכאל (מיקי) אבידן" wrote: > > > To my opinion it will be very difficult or impossible a solution if the > > without having the Data in front of us. > > However, you may try to record a Macro of the Cutting/Pasting the data from > > the 2nd. row, up to the 1st. row and Deleting the empty 2nd. row. > > All this should be "nested" within some sort of loop. > > Micky > > > > > > "KKD" wrote: > > > > > The data I am bringing in to Excel comes in two rows for a single record.
