    Pasting into the nth row

    I have a spreadsheet with 2000+ consecutively filled rows. Each row has multiple columns with data (B:H).

    I would like to use the value in e.g. B1 and paste the corresponding row 1 data into row 2. I would like to do this for all data.

    As an example, now a row reads (comma meaning new column) :

    Grill of Arabia, Schulterblatt 35, 20357, Hamburg, (Sternschanze), Tel.: xxx
    Isis, Loogestieg 2, 20249, Hamburg, (Eppendorf), Tel.: xxx
    etc.

    I want it to read:

    Grill of Arabia
    Schulterblatt 35, 20357, Hamburg, (Sternschanze), Tel.: xxx
    Isis
    Loogestieg 2, 20249, Hamburg, (Eppendorf), Tel.: xxx


    I assume I would need a macro for this but I am very new to using macros.
    Can anyone help?


    Thanks!

    Hi Britta.

    I can't caution you strongly enough. The data as you've described it is in perfect database format. In its current format, you can refer to from other sheets with hardly any effort, it's a true database.

    I suggest you leave your database sheet alone, keep it in this pure format.

    You can then create these alternate viewing layouts on another sheet. The simplest would, of course, be a macro. You really should post this in the Programming Forum for that.

    JBeaucaire,


    Thanks for this. I do have an underlying database sheet that is not being touched. The new format intended to be more viewer-friendly for sharing purposes on the web.

    I will re-post in the other forum.


    Thanks again,
