    Consolidating Excessive Columns

    So, I am trying to consolidate columns of Stata output, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do so efficiently.

    There are 666 columns of data and 40,000+ rows, but I only need select data from each column based on the group number in Column 1, as seen in the screenshot below.

    Additionally, it is not a consistent number of cells from each column.

    Is there a function I can use to do this? Or anything to make it simpler? I appreciate any input!

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    Welcome to Excel Forum. Thank you for complying with the request to link your cross post.
    Working from the table you provided on the other site this formula gives the same values as in the 'unlabeled column':
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Or perhaps better:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Let me know if you have any questions.
