is there a quick way to do this besides cut and paste?
using XL 2003
I have 5 cells of addresss data (more than 100 times over) A2 through A4 But the info that I want in A1 is in B1 Is there a quicker way than scrollling through the 650 record sheet and cutting all the column B data into the column A cell?? I know I can type "=B2" in A1 but if I dragged that down, I would lose data in column A. ....Lisa |

If Col_B only contains the values you need in Col_A
Then try this: Select from the first Col_B value through the last [Ctrl]+C............a shortcut for <edit<copy Select the 1st Col_A cell to receive the Col_B value <edit<paste special........Check: skip blanks Click [OK] That will copy the Col_B values into the empty spaces in Col_A, without overwriting the other Col_A values. Then clear Col_B. Is that something you can work with? *********** Regards, Ron XL2003, WinXP " wrote: using XL 2003 I have 5 cells of addresss data (more than 100 times over) A2 through A4 But the info that I want in A1 is in B1 Is there a quicker way than scrollling through the 650 record sheet and cutting all the column B data into the column A cell??
