    shortening the data for printout

    Hi,
    I don't even know how it is called, therefore can not make a search for it!
    I have a letter and numbers in the A column. example: (A001_C108_1231Xb)
    This kind of numbers go from Column A1 : A1800.
    I need to print them out, therefore I would like to fill every page which has 50 rows and 3 columns : A, D and G to write in the data.
    I tried to do it manually, which is quite some work.
    I am sure there is a fast way in Excel doing that!

    Thank you!

    If it's not sensitive data, I suggest you upload the file, or an example of it.

    I created a sample page.
    If it is only one, that is not so difficult, but there are many pages (over 14)

    Thank you!
