Gord,
i've tried your suggestion and the only problem i'm having is that for
some
reason it is then copying the text i have in the adjoining colum in to the
resulting column!!

I'm ending up with the following

Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
1 xxxxx
2 xxxxx
3 xxxxx

after selecting and delecting blanks it is producing

Column1
xxxxx1
xxxxx2
xxxxx3

I'm definetly only choosing the first three columns to identify and then
delete the blanks.

Thanks for all the posts. What i'm trying to achieve is to go from my
orginal
position of :
Column1 Column2 Column3 etc
Y
Y
Y

to
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column
1
2
3

and finally to

Column1 Column2 Column3 etc
1
2
3

Does that make sense. I've managed to get to stage 2.

You should always give before/after examples so we understand what you

IF? I understand what you want, this will copy the last column in any
row to
column 1. Then just delete or clear all other columns.

Sub Makeonecolumn()
For i = 1 To 7 'change 7 to suit rows needed
Cells(i, 1) = Cells(i, "iv").End(xlToLeft)
Next i
End Sub

Hi i have a sheet with data in the following format

Column1 Column2 Column3 etc
Y
Y
Y
I need to changed the Y's to different values. In column1 Y needs to
equal
=
1 and in Y in column2 needs to equal 2 etc. Is it possible to change
the
values other than having to change each Y indvidually? I have 700
rows!!!
I then need to merge the three rows so i have one column with the
converted
data.

I'm new to excel and and can not see away through.
