Hi!
Thanks in advance for any advice. I am a relative novice stuck at a crossroads and really appreciate any help. I've created a spreadsheet that spits out the information I need organized in the following format: .. A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L ..... 1 X X X X 2 X X X X 3 X X X X 4 X X X X 5 X X X X 6 X X X X ____________________________ This means that, on any given row, there are 4 (and only 4) columns containing information - and the rest of the cells are blank. Now I need to know how to consolidate this information so that it is all contained in one set of columns (eg): .. A - B - C - D 1 X X X X 2 X X X X 3 X X X X 4 X X X X 5 X X X X 6 X X X X _____________________________ Like I said, I have it set up so that, on every single row, there are exactly 4 consecutive cells containing info. I have also made sure that there will be no blank rows to deal with (every row WILL contain 4 cells of info). However, the placement of those 4 cells along the X axis varies from row to row (sometimes it is in cells A-D, and sometimes in cells CH-CK, etc). In simple terms, I need to just end up with a sheet containing only 4 columns of data, no more. I never realized how hard it was to explain a spreadsheet! Hopefully I made some sense, and someone out there will have some advice. Let me know if there are any details I need to add that I've forgotten. Thx again! |
