    How to create 3 columns from 1

    Hello all,

    I have one column in excel starting at Column A, here is what is in there:

    2
    3
    4
    3
    2
    3
    4
    32
    2
    3
    3
    3
    3
    3
    3
    3
    4
    4
    5
    55555

    So on and so forth...

    I want to take that column A and take the 1st 3 #'s, in this case above, 2-3-4 and put them in the corresponding B-C-D columns and keep going....

    So as an example, using the above numbers. Row 1B would be 2, 1C 3, 1D 4, then we keep going (seperated by every 3), 2 B would be 3, 2C 2, 2D 3, etc, etc,

    I want to keep seperating my Column A every 3 and put it into B-C-D

    234
    323
    4-32-2
    333
    ETC ETC ETC....

    I hope someone can help me out!!

    With your data starting in A1, put this formula in B1

    =INDEX($A:$A,ROW()*3-(COLUMN($D$1)-COLUMN()))

    copy across to column D and then down.
