Default convert txt file to excel

Joel,

It's runs great and I'm very happy with it. Thanks again. Can you
recommend any VBA books, classes or anything that will help me to program? I
am so grateful for the help I can get from this group but I'd also like to
continue learning to program. Again, thanks!!!

It turns out the previous code I sent it better than the one that worked.
All yo uhad to do was to move the column at the end. The code that works is
slow because of all the cell insertions.

I read your postings again and I think this should work

Sub CombineRows()

LastRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

For RowCount = 1 To LastRow
LastCol = _
Cells(RowCount, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
If LastCol 1 Then
ColCount = 2
NextRowColCount = 1
For LoopCount = 1 To LastCol
Cells(RowCount, ColCount).Insert (xlShiftToRight)
Cells(RowCount + 1, NextRowColCount).Copy _
Destination:=Cells(RowCount, ColCount)

ColCount = ColCount + 2
NextRowColCount = NextRowColCount + 1
Next LoopCount
Rows(RowCount + 1).Delete
End If
Next RowCount
End Sub

Joel,
Thanks for the code. It did a wonderful job of placing the entire row at
the end of the first row. However, the organization is not in the right
order. Somehow during the extraction the two lines were offset in different
order. Here is what the first two lines of another report (they were all
extracted the same way) look like using cell references from where the
information should come from. Is there any way to write the code so it
"counts", left 2, down 2, etc., and put it in a loop so it does this until it
finds the blank A cell?

Because of the blank rows and the team name row not being combined I had to
make some minor changes to my original code.



Sub CombineRows()

LastRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

For RowCount = 1 To LastRow
Set LastCol = _
Cells(RowCount, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)
If LastCol.Column 1 Then
Set NewCol = LastCol.Offset(0, 1)
Set NextRowLastCol = _
Cells(RowCount + 1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)
Range(Range("A" & (RowCount + 1)), NextRowLastCol).Copy _
Destination:=NewCol
Rows(RowCount + 1).Delete
End If
Next RowCount

End Sub

Can you show a few more lines of data. I need to know the spacing between
input lines to get the right solution. Is ther any blank rows between the
line of data?

I think this may work

Sub CombineRows()

RowCount = 1
Do While Range("A" & RowCount) < ""
Set LastCol = _
Cells(RowCount, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)
Set NewCol = LastCol.Offset(0, 1)
Set NextRowLastCol = _
Cells(RowCount + 1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)
Range(Range("A" & (RowCount + 1)), NextRowLastCol).Copy _
Destination:=NewCol
Rows(RowCount + 1).Delete

RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop

End Sub

I have almost 100 very old text reports that must be converted to excel. My
problem is the reports have been changed (no other way to export them) to run
two separate lines and I need them back to the single line. Ex:

Driver1 Time Hrs Balance Exception
Car Expended Hours Complete Work Defect
Eric 4 3.5 Yes No
15 4 .5 Yes

These lines need to be:
Driver1 Car Time Expended Hrs Hours Complete Balance
Exception Work Defect
Eric 15 4 4 3.5 .5
Yes Yes No

I'm a novice vba/macro person and welcome any suggestions.
