    Hi all,
    I am new to excel sheet. I have data like Jobs which are mapped to Roles.
    Jobs are in first column and roles are mapped to multiple columns to jobs.
    few columns have empty values. So now i want to make result exact to two columns
    first column is Jobs and second column is roles mapped to it. Attachment 682294
    for more details pls see attached image.

    how to achieve this ?

    Regards
    Alena

    Hello sap2975. Welcome to the forum.

    In the attached columns A and B please find these formulas. If your regional settings require ";" argument separators your copy of Excel will correct for that.(These formulas use USA setting ... "," separators.)

    In A10 and filled down is an approach I picked up from BMV a few months ago.

    Hi Dave,

    Thank you, it is working. Now if i want to increase number of columns from 5 to 10, then in formula {1;1;1;1;1} will increase to 10 one's ?

    I tried it but it didn't work.

    Best Regards

    Change the first formula to this array entered formula.

    If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.

    Re: how to convert multiple column data into two columns

    I've been trying to use these formulas on a similar (and larger) file and haven't had any luck. Could you help me out?

    I have product names in Cells A1-A63 and Store Numbers in B1-HG63. Let's assume I'm beginning to combine everything in A65 & B65.

    Thank you!
