    How to take information from Column A with multiple data to a new sheet as rows.

    Good Morning!

    I am hoping to gather insight into how to take information from one column, and implmenting a macro to display it in a different worksheet as columns. I received this data from a pdf document and downloaded it to excel. It's basically 250+ email messages in this format underneath one column. All have the same titles (Event / Incident), etc. I am hoping to build a macro to search for each title (e.g., Event / Incident) and then display this information into a 'Event / Incident Column'. Same would go for Commands Impacted, etc. Any insight would be awesome, thank you!

    Below is the data in Column A (actual data is different from email to email, but headers 1 through 12 are the same).

    1. Event / Incident:
    2. Commands Impacted:
    3. Operational Impact:
    4. Root Cause:
    5. WO Initial Notification:
    6. Incident Start Date / Time:
    7. End Date / Time:
    8. Reason for outage (RFO):
    9. Action Taken:
    10. Resolution Summary:
    11. Applicable Trouble Ticket(s):
    12. Notifications:

    Can you upload a workbook, so we can see the actual structure of your source data. Also include how you want your outcome to look.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Hi!

    Attached is an example of the layout of one email. The same layout is utilized for 200+ emails that I hope to separate the information from the titles (e.g., Incident) into a separate worksheet as columns (see Desired Format tab).

    Any help would be fantastic!

    Re: How to take information from Column A with multiple data to a new sheet as rows.

    Okay - so your column headings (desired format) don't match your row headings (Initial Data) - is this correct?
    There is no row matching ID (A), Notification Method (M) or Resolution Time (P), Date is duplicated (C and K), and there are no columns for rows [USERS - Other info] (9 - 13)/

    Also - your initial data isn't quite clear:
    - Will the actual values be in Column A, or will the headings be in column A and the data in column B?
    - What separates multiple messages in this worksheet - blank row(s), any other delimiter?

    Some data would be nicer to work with...
