Hey there!
I'm designing some HVAC units with dedicated manufacturer software. After the design is finished the software is automatically generating me a final report of the unit's data, among others, in an excel spreadsheet. The thing is many times I have to make like a shorter summary of the report, on purposes of some projects, other summaries, whatever. And here comes the problem: in generated reports given values (e.g. model name, air flow, weight and so on) everytime are in different cells and I can't make just a simple formulas to copy and paste required information.
Below you can see a screenshot of a part of a report.

And i would need to obtain a summary alike that:

Of course those summaries are much more extended, so it's really inconvenient to do it by hand, this is just to give you the idea.
So I was thinking if it would be possible to write a formula that searches one sheet for a key word (e.g. 'Project'), copy it + value of merged cells on side (1234 - (50)) an finally pastes it in fixed cells in another sheet. It also needs to be applicable to different reports as the values locations varies.
Anybody has any idea how to resolve it? I would appreciate any help. If you need something more like more explanation, excel file, etc. just give me a shout.
Thanks in advance for help!
