    moving column data to single row - anyone else?

    I have bill of material where sometimes the "reference designators" are broken out in several rows of a column because there are so many. Is there a fast way using a macro or formula to take the individual rows in a column and move them to the first row in the column. I have enclosed "single line.xls showing before and after. Any help is alway greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your help. Bob

    In E4 and copy down, =IF(C5="", D4 & E5, D4)

    Copy col E, replace with values, delete col D, sort ensemble by col A, delete orphan rows at bottom.

    I can help with part of this.

    Highlight cells A4:C15 and click on Data -->Remove Duplicates and click ok. This is how you do it on excel 2007, but I think it's the same for 2003. As for column D, try messing around with Data --> Text to columns." This allows you to break up text into different cells, however, I do not have much experience with it.

    Best of luck!

    Yes this works. A little messy and some extra keystokes but it beats doing it manually. Thank you
