Sorting data
Is it possible to create columns using data from a single column? I have four
columns of data. The fourth column of each row contains of one of three different values(PT,OT,ST). I would like to use these values as column headings to sort the rows of information. -- Thank you, Todd Smith |

Sorting data
Select the column of data you want to turn into column headings, copy it,
select a destination cell, right-click, paste special, transpose. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "activtodd" wrote: Is it possible to create columns using data from a single column?

Sorting data
Thank you, I wish it were that simple. I need to be able to sort the rows of
data into these 3 different columns. Can this be done by using 3 separate sheets, one for each value(PT,OT, or ST) -- Thank you, Todd Smith "Dave F" wrote: Select the column of data you want to turn into column headings, copy it, select a destination cell, right-click, paste special, transpose.

Sorting data
sounds like you could put the data into a Pivot Table
fine for doing things one time only, not so easy if you want to do it on a regular basis. or you could filter on one of those values, then copy and paste to another sheet if you want to separate the data into your three sheets, then repeat for the other two values. Your will find more information on Pivot Tables and on Filtering at http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/ExcelMain.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "activtodd" wrote in message ...
