report/page/column titles. *Any ideas?
Here's one idea: ~ Make a backup copy of your file to avoid losing data! ~ Insert a new column A and starting at the top of your file, number each row. (You can do this by typing 1 in cell A1 and the putting the formula =A1+1 in cell A2; copy that down for all 500 pages; then highlight column A, copy, and "paste special as values" back over itself so what remains is the numeric entries only, no formulas.) ~ Sort all the rows in such a way as to group all the header rows together- do this by choosing a column that is unique to the header rows. For instance: choose a column that contains only numeric data, and sort it alphabetically: all the text rows- the headers- will be grouped together, and all the data will be separate. ~ When all the header rows are grouped, delete those rows. ~ Sort all the rows on column A, the row numbers you added, to get the data back to its original order ~ Delete column A Dave O Eschew obfuscation |
