    Re: Help With contact table

    Can you attach a sample workbook?

    There is a Way using Pivot Tables (Depending on the Data Structure), let me see if that can be used..

    Else, VBA!
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    We can try to solve this problem.
    But for that we need to first look at your data....so it will be good if you could attach a sample workbook over here....
    You can attach a workbook by clicking on "Go Advanced" button at the foot of the typing area ....and then clicking on the "Paper Clip" icon from the tools above....
    Happy to Help

    Re: Help With contact table

    sample.xlsx
    obviously due to data protection i have had to create a few fakes but that's the layout of the table but i would like the contacts to go into a 'template' format contact info.xlsx

    if it isn't possible to go into the template that's fine just need to create separate contacts

    Re: Help With contact table

    yes i need to split the list of 500 into individual contacts i have had a little mess around and the only successful way has been to copy and paste but this is too time consuming and will take days if not weeks! i seem to remember doing something similar in school but as this was over 10 years ago and haven't touched excel since the process has been long forgotten

    Re: Help With contact table

    I forgot to do the formatting part...
    Try this for the same...

    The only advantage to use this way is that it saves a lot of time in processing...
    You can give it a try..

    Re: Help With contact table

    In this template you need to merge the cells of columns B, C and D....right??
    Rest everything should be same..

    Re: Help With contact table

    Also I would recommend to minimize the use of merged cells as they only create problems in the future...

    Re: Help With contact table

    So what you can do is after running that macro you would get all the sheets for every company...now you just need to add the comments section...so just select all the sheets except data and template (by selecting first sheet>>pressing and holding shift>>selecting the last sheet)....now while all these sheets are selected just type Date, Comments and Initials wherever you want to put them in any one of the sheets and the same will be done will all the sheets...
    Hope this helps!!
