    Convert Columns to rows with DATA

    hi all this is my first topic in here, i have a problem in copying many columns to to rows that originally contains data, this is gonna be really complicated so here is wt i want, let's assume i have this table

    A B C D
    1 9 24 25 26
    2 11 24 434 888

    what i want is to concatenate the data in columns B,C,D etc. to the data in column A each in a separate row so i get the following table:

    A
    1 924
    2 925
    3 926
    4 1124
    5 11434
    6 11888

    so in other words i want to concatenate the data in A1 to the data in b1,c1,d1.....etc and then put the output in one column

    thanks in advance

    Hello raed_237,

    Welcome to the forum!

    with your data in columns A, B, C & D, try this in F1

    =INDIRECT("A"&ROUNDUP((ROW())/3,0)) auto-fill down the column

    Then in G1

    =INDIRECT("B"&ROUNDUP((ROW())/3,0))

    Then in G2

    =INDIRECT("C"&ROUNDUP((ROW())/3,0))

    Then in G3

    =INDIRECT("D"&ROUNDUP((ROW())/3,0))

    Then select cells G1:G3 and auto-fill down

    Does that work for you?

    Have a look at the attached worksheet for an alternative using a compound formula in column H.

    Name your data range 'data', then copy the formula in H1 to your H1, then copy down.

    If you use a different column you will get an incorrect result

    Regards
    Mike

    PS sorry for the strange workbook title - should be 5 cols to one...

    raed:

    With 10,000 rows you will need 4 times, ie 40,000 rows to complete the analysis

    So prepare as follows:

    Name your source range as 'data'
    Swap to my worksheet and copy H1 cell
    Swap back to yours, choose Go To (F5), and enter in H1:H40,000 (or whatever the exact number of rows needs to be).
    Select Edit Paste, to copy the formula in to all those rows.

    It may take a moment to calculate...

    Regards
    Mike
