    Show contents of vertical cells in horizontal cells

    Hello friends,

    I am referring to the post made by NBVC at http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...xcel-help.html,
    Try: =IF($A1="",INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-ROW($A$2)+COLUMN(B1)),"") in B2, copied across and down

    I have a similar case but there are no empty rows between lists, what would be the formula to get the same results? (The transposed address should appear next to each first line of each block).

    Earlier, I posted at http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-one-cell.html and I got brilliant answers, I also would like to get benefit of the above mentioned formula but in cases when there are no empty rows between lists.

    Any insight on this is highly appreciated


    Many thanks

    Is there something that is common in the first row of each block?

    For example, will each first row start with salutation, like Mr or Mrs or Ms?

    If yes, then using the same example as the linked thread, but with no spaces:

    Ms a Sample
    1 Sample Lane
    Sample Town
    Sample County
    ME34 LALA
    E-Mail: [email protected]
    Ms a Sample
    Sample Lane
    Sample Town
    Sample County
    ME34 LALA
    E-Mail: [email protected]
    Starting in A2, then in B2, enter formula:

    =IF(OR(LEFT($A2,2)={"Mr","Ms","Mrs"}),INDIRECT("A"&ROW()-ROW($A$2)+COLUMN(B1)),"")

    and copy it across and down the columns/rows.

    You should get results like so:

    Hopefully you have a consitent number of items in each block or you may get some overlap...

    Many thanks NBVC for your helps, unfortunately, there is nothing common and each cell in column D has a unique value that never repeats.
    I am attaching a sample for your easy reference

    Thanks

    I will asssume that you want each block to start where there is a new date entered in column A...seems logical.

    So say in G2, enter formula:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and copy it only down the column as far as you want

    In H2, enter formula:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Copy it down the same number of rows and then copy across as many columns as you want to extract all vital information.

    Note: Adjust the G2 in this formula if you didn't put the first formula in G2.

    Hope this does it.

    Hi NBVC,

    I have no words to say, this is brilliancy, magic!!! Fantastic

    I have tested the formula for more than 45000 lines and it worked magically, now we use a new jargon in our office “NBVC” and when our colleagues from other offices ask what you mean by (NBVC) we simply reply it means some thing impossible.

    But you helped us to make it possible!!, thanks a lot
