    Why don't you use the solution you were given in the other thread? You could insert the list onto one sheet and have the formula working its magic on another.

    The last solution was good but there was little problem that some time there are 5 rows and some time 4 so it's messing everything if I go with formula.

    is there any way that I copy 1 screenshot items and paste and the outcomes will be like 2nd screenshot with that formula.

    Here's the source URL --> http://www.wcsu.edu/com/faculty/

    First 3 are 5 rows data while rest are 4 rows data. This is just a sample URL I need to copy in bulk. That's why for me formula option will not work.

    Actually I was not aware. Yes I'll be careful. I'm waiting if someone replies here. If someone don't answer I'll post another forum with link back to this thread.

    When you joined the forum recently you agreed to abide by the Forum Rules, but in haste I fear you might not have actually read them. Please stop and take a moment to read them now. We all follow these rules for the benefit of all, as must you. Thanks.

    Re: Is there any way to copy and paste in desired format in excel

    Along with many other contributors, I am not able to view .png files on this forum due to software incompatibilities with some browsers. Hence when you say:

    and want outcome like this:
    it is meaningless, as we can't see what your outcomes are.

    It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook to show what you want to achieve. To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    They are both images (pictures), so I still can't see them. If you really must upload pictures, then do so in the jpeg or pdf formats.

    Re: Is there any way to copy and paste in desired format in excel

    I think Ali's suggestion in Post #2 is correct (without having read your previous thread). Paste the data into one sheet, and then use another sheet with formulae in to put the data in the format you require. The formulae should be able to cope with 4-line and 5-line entries, if written appropriately.
