    Question Consolidate text from different Columns in one column with respective heading

    Hi,

    I am looking for a macro which can ease my work of consolidating responses from different products/teams. I have attached a sample format.

    I have to consolidate responses in column D, E and F in Column H. This action needs to be done from row no. 3 to 1000.

    Here is the flow chart of the action I want to do with this macro:

    For wsSheet1(RowH3:RowH1000)
    - Check if cell C3 is having text. If yes, then copy its heading (in Bold with colon) in F3 and then its respective text. In case there is no text ignore and move to next column E.
    - Check if column D3 is having text, if yes copy its heading (in Bold with colon) and its respective text in F3 under previous response.
    - Perform similar action with E3.

    I am not an expert with Macro's so I tried with Record macro. But that doesn't helps because I want to generalize this macro, meaning if I have more than one columns or may be different range of rows, I just change the column and row no. in the macro and use it further.

    Please have a look to the attached file. I have tried to work with record macro and results are in column F3. In adjacent column H, I have given the format I desire.

    Thanks in advance !!
    Your support is appreciated !!

    Hi Marcol,

    Thanks for the reply !

    Actually, I am working on a tool and want this to be done by button click and that's why I was looking for a macro. I need the format as mentioned in column H.
    If you can spare some time and help me with a macro that would be a great help.

    Anyways this formula works well but I need certain modification in it. I want the headings to be in bold followed by a colon.
    e.g. Radio Access:and then its respective text. I have an understanding that this is not possible by using formula.

    Thanks for time and support !!

    You're correct that formatting text can't be done with formula.

    Try this, you can use a button to call the sub if you really must.

    Hi Marcol,

    Thanks for your valuable time and support.

    I tried this code, it works well but I find an issue when Column C is empty, its doesn't move to next column and give results as empty F cell.

    Considering your code as a base and with little efforts & common sense, I have updated the If else loops in the code and finally I got the desired results.

    Thanks once again. You guys are real GURU of excel and VBA.

    Here is the updated code:
