    1111 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678
    1111 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678
    1111 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678


    I need to make it look like this...


    1111 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678 ASDF JKL; 1234 5678

    i think a bit more data is needed post a sample work book do the cells contain different info, or they do and all the rows look the same?
    is col a repeated only 4 times?

    There are varying numbers of groups of rows that I need to split, but every grouping needs to go to one row.

    Awesome - helper columns are far better than doing it manually.
