    How do you insert cell contents from one column into another based on a specific part?

    Hi there,

    I have a spreadsheet with four columns of text.
    In column A, i have multiple levels followed by a letter (i.e. Level 1A, Level 1B etc).
    In column B, i have some other details and then so on and so forth.

    In column C/E/G lets say, i want to copy the information from column A to show only items that appear as "Level 1" (not "Level 1A", i only want it to check for things without the letter at the end). Then the same in column E but with "Level 2" and so on and so forth.

    Column A...Column B-Column C...Column D--Column E...Column F--Column G...Column H
    Level 1A....Metals----Level 1A....Metals ---Level 2A....Integral---Level 3A....Television
    Level 1B....Energy----Level 1B....Energy--- Level 2B....Flowers---Level 3B....Kitchen
    Level 1C....Synergy---Level 1C...Synergy--Level 2C....Full
    Level 2A....Integral---Level 1D....Orders
    Level 2B....Flowers
    Level 1D....Orders
    Level 3A....Television
    Level 3B....Kitchen
    Level 2C....Full

    Now if this is possible, i'd also do something else.
    I also have data in Column B that is to do with column A (i.e "Level 1A" - "Metals") and so on with the following columns. I want the items that are in column B to also move over to column D when the things from Column A move to Column C, so at the end it will appear as below so it appears as above.

    Not sure if thats possible or makes sense. Any help would be great.

    It's difficult to determine from the unformatted post. Could you upload an example workbook (Go Advanced>Manage Attachments)?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
