    Move data in rows to columns

    Hello--

    I just imported a ton of data from an internet website into excel. I want the data to be organized in columns, such as 'company name,' 'contact', 'company description'. However, all of this data is organized into rows instead of columns. How do I convert that data so that, for instance, every third row goes into a column entitled company name, every second row into a column called 'contact', etc.

    If anyone has any insight into this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    If you want it split into three columns try this,

    B1 =IF(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$1),3)=0,A1,"")

    C1=IF(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$1),3)=0,A2,"")

    D1=IF(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$1),3)=0,A3,"")

    Select B1:D1 and copy down to the entire length of column A, then copy, paste special values, and sort in accending order to remove the blanks

    Hi, hfler
    Try copying you data, open a new sheet, Select "A2", Right click,Select Paste special, Click "Transpose",Click Ok.
    Place you Headers in Row (1)
    You might have to play with it a Bit !!
    Regards Mick
