(Again) Converting rows to columns
Would appreciate some advice: I am currently downloading some data into an Excel spreadsheet that gives me the following format: Dept.# Account# Month Actuals Dept.# Account# Month Budget Dept.# Account# Month Actuals Dept.# Account# Month Budget Dept.# Account# Month Actuals Dept.# Account# Month Budget I would like to get the actuals in one column and the budget in the next column, but everything else would have to match up (ie make sure i am matching the same dept and account #). I am not quite sure how to go about this and am not an Excel expert. Would appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks -- nickr1954 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nickr1954's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30907 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=505906 |

If you are doing this frequently, you may want to write a macro to do it.

If your format is consistent, that is, one blank row between every two
rows, assuming that A18 contains your data, try the following... F1, copied down and across: =OFFSET($A$1,COLUMN()-COLUMN($F1),ROW()-ROW(F$1)) Then, convert the formulas into values by doing the following... 1) Select the range of cells in your new columns 2) Edit Copy Edit Paste Special Values Ok 3) Select columns containing zero values 4) Edit Clear Contents Hope this helps!

Actually, there are no blank rows between the rows of data. It is one continuous string. Would that change anything in the formula you provided? Thanks a lot for your advice! -- nickr1954 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nickr1954's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30907 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=505906 |

If you mean that each row is one continuous string and are not in separate columns, as I assumed, put them in different columns first and then use the formula I offered. To separate your text string in separate columns... 1) Select your range of cells 2) Data Text to Columns ....and follow the prompts. |
