    One large column of data - convert it to rows?

    Hello,

    I have a large column of data (pasted from a website) which I would like to see broken into rows. the data presents as:

    change #
    (random empty spaces)
    title of change
    (random empty spaces)
    Testing notes
    (random empty spaces)

    change #
    (random empty spaces)
    title of change
    (random empty spaces)
    Testing notes
    (random empty spaces)

    change #
    (random empty spaces)
    title of change
    (random empty spaces)
    Testing notes
    (random empty spaces)

    change #
    (random empty spaces)
    title of change
    (random empty spaces)
    Testing notes
    (random empty spaces)


    and so on and so on -

    I would like it to display as follows:

    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes
    change # title of change Testing notes



    All data pasted into Column A.

    Anyone have a macro to help? i've searched a few other posts, and found similar problems, but those macros fail on me. I'm VERY novice at macros, so any instructions would be super helpful.

    Thank you in advance.

    So the change # occurs EVERY 7 rows WITHOUT FAIL?

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Hi,
    No unfortunately, there are random amounts of blank/empty cells inbetween each of the of items.

    there is text in the change # field that is consistent, without fail : "C/S CM Request #" this would be the start of a new row.

    Mm, then that wont work, it assumes the change # will be every 7 rows after line 1
