works just fine! Thanks!!!

You really have those "date:", "Name:", "Shift:" headers?

And empty cells between each of those groupings????

And those values in the cells are just plain old text--not formulas????

This just looks for the "Date:" in column A and then bases every group on that.
It does expect exactly 2 categories per group.

'remove "Shift: "

Sure. Sorry for the confusion.

What I have:

Date: 123
Name: 456
Shift: 789

Category A
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

Category B
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
line 6

Date: 123
Name: 456
Shift: 789

Category A
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

Category B
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
line 6

etc.

What I want:

Date Name Shift Category A Category B
123 456 789 line 1 line 1
line 2 line 2
line 3 line 3
line 4 line 4
line 5 line 5
line 6
Date Name Shift Category A Category B
345 678 123 line 1 line 1
line 2 line 2

etc.

Hopefully it doesn't wrap it weird. Hope this helps!
