    Reorganize and add columns using a macro

    I have the following spreadsheet that I need to have reorganized be placed in the the format on Final Report tab within the spreadsheet. It takes too much time to do this process manually every week and I'm hoping that someone can assist with creating a Macro for that can help me with my new layout.

    Main Spreadsheet layout:
    Employer# Employer Name Employer Address Emp. Contact Person Employer Phone Employer Fax Employer Email Report Total Local Agreement Contract ID Work Month SSN Last Name First Name Total Hrs Premium Hrs NIA Amount Rate Posted Date Receipt No. Comments

    Final Report - the first column should be blank
    Receipt No. Employer Name Employer# Local PaymentType WorkMonth EndoftheMonth Local Contract ID Group ID App's_Codes SSN Last Name First Name MI Total Hrs Premium Hrs NIA Amount TotalHoursWorked Agreement DataEntryDate Rate

    To get a prompt answer, You might limit your columns of data to, say, four, limit the rows to, say six, and provide an example of the four columns of data in the Main spreadsheet, and the order in which you want the data in the Final Report. Otherwise, your data is just too much to get a handle on. A solution could then be readily provided with fairly explicit and obvious steps to expand it to fit your data. Just sayin'

    dogs cats pigs cows
    a f k p
    b g l q
    c h m r
    d i n s
    e j o t

    For example, with this data in A1:D6 of Worksheet(3), the following code, which assumes you want cats, cows, dogs, pigs in the final report, will produce that in Worksheet(4)

    Here's the result from worksheets(4), Range("b1:e6")

    cats cows dogs pigs
    f p a k
    g q b l
    h r c m
    i s d n
    j t e o

    Maybe that,s one simpleminded approach you could consider. It might also provide a model from which others can make other suggestions.

    Re: Reorganize and add columns using a macro

    The easiest way would be to use Power Query for this. In Power Query you can "append" tables to each other and Power Query automatically matches the columns based on their headers. In the past I developed VBA code to do things like this, but nowadays I create a little Power Query script for this type of work (and many other purposes). It goes faster and is much more versatile. At the beginning it requires some learning and playing around but its worth it.

    I know nothing about Power Query. Is that something the original poster might likely be able to mount? Could you give him some clues to get started? (I wouldn't mind seeing them myself
