Default Converting "Rolodex" text format for importing

Sean (et al)...

The conversion didn't work exactly as noted, but by going a little deeper
with the copy, it worked like a charm. For example, rather than going to B2
and saying it was equal to A9, I went to B9 and said it was equal to A9. I
did as instructed and extended the row = column concept out to column G. I
copied two sets of addresses, including the last two blank rows of each, to
the end of the data.

One other thing I learned was that there weren't 800 addresses. There are
3185 addresses, and this work-around will allow me to spend some more time
with my family this weekend. I'm very grateful for the help.

Now, I need to go into the cell that has the City, State, Zip code and break
those into separate cells.

Many thanks.
Junto

Thanks.

So, in, say, cell B1, type A1.

In C1, type A2.

Go out to column G

Then, go to B2, equals A9

Same for C2 To G2.

Then, copy B1 through G2 and use fill to the botttom. Excel should have the
pattern figured out.
