Default Moving data from column A to Columns B,C,D,E

Your welcome.

There is anoter way to do it that I sometimes use if it is a one off.

1. Copy the column A and paste it in b,c,d
2. Delete cell b1, c1:c2 and d1:d3 moving the cells up.
3. Insert a column in column A and enter 1 in cells a1 and in a2
=if(a1=5,1,a1+1) copy that done the column and then copy the column and paste
special values it.
4. Copy that and paste it in the other cells in column a with data (should
give sequence 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5
5. Select columns a:e
6. Sort on column 1
7. Delete all rows that are not = 1 in column A
8. delete column A
You should have it.

if you want it in the original order insert another column to the original
data and enter =row() and copy down and then copy paste special values it and
sort on the original row numbers at the end.

That is a quick way to do it.

Hi Michael:

This should do the job provided that the addresses are as specificed in
fixed blocks of 4 cells with a line between them.

Sub moveaddresses()

Dim lRow As Long

lRow = 1

With ActiveSheet
'get first row
Do While (.Cells(lRow, 1) = "")
lRow = lRow + 1
Loop
Do While (.Cells(lRow, 1) < "")
' could do in for loop but only 3 cells
.Cells(lRow, 2) = .Cells(lRow + 1, 1)
.Cells(lRow, 3) = .Cells(lRow + 2, 1)
.Cells(lRow, 4) = .Cells(lRow + 3, 1)
.Rows(lRow + 1 & ":" & lRow + 4).Delete
lRow = lRow + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
