    How to change data from awkward column form to list form, suitable for Macro

    Hi all,

    Currently my data is in this form:

    A B C D E
    1 10 11 29 39
    2 12 30 40
    3 13 31 41
    4 14 32 42
    5 15 33 43
    6 16 34
    7 17 35
    8 18 36
    9 19 37
    20 38
    21
    22
    23
    24
    25
    26
    27
    28
    When I'd like it to be in this form:

    1 A
    2 A
    3 A
    4 A
    5 A
    6 A
    7 A
    8 A
    9 A
    10 B
    11 C
    12 C
    13 C
    14 C
    15 C
    16 C
    17 C
    18 C
    19 C
    20 C
    21 C
    22 ETC

    I can do it with hassle but there's got to be an easier way to change between the two formats! Please help!

    All the numbers are actually children's names so are all different, if that helps.

    Cheers,

    Harrison

    I can not see how your example before and after relate to each other, why is 12 "C"?

    perhaps you should upload a worksheet

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Hey,

    That's fantastic! Thanks..

    One more thing, what is 1, 2, 3 were replaced by names (so not simply counting numbers), how would I be able to get them into list form in column A?

    Thanks!

    IT wont work, with names. Its why you should provide a realistic example of what you require. Otherwise people are wasting their time

    Sorry about the delay. I had to go to a funeral.

    Insert a new column A

    Paste this formula into A1 and fill down

    Formula: copy to clipboard
