Need help
I am trying to make a contact list using excel. I have been entering
addresses of business' into excel in the following format: ABC Company 123 Booton Rd Beverly Hills, CA 90210 Phone: (555) 555-5555 Fax: (555)444-4444 I currently have over 20,000 business names in one single column and I was wondering if there was a way that I can convert those addresses into seperate rows separating them by: Name---Address---Phone #----Fax # without having to copy and paste them or type them in individually |

What is the problem? I will translate the steps to suit your 5-line
addresses. Create three "sets". A set is the formula, and the corresponding blank rows that follow it. In C1, put =A1. In D1, put =A2. In E1, put =A3. In F1, put =A4 In G1, put =A5 In C7, put =A7 In D7, put =A8 In E7, put =A9 In F7, put =A10 In G7, put =A11 In C13, put =A12 In D13, put =A13 In E13, put =A14 In F13, put =A15 In G13, put =A16 We make 3 sets, and select them. You will select cells C1 through G17. From here, we copy down. DO NOT STOP dragging until you've copied all the way down. If you do, your "set" becomes however many cells are selected at the time you begin dragging again. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "vdemar" wrote in message ...

I just cant seem to get it working, I think I may have too many addresses or
something. I think I've given up on it, I'm getting too frustrated but thanks for your help. |

What if some addresses have more or less then 5 lines?? |

It depends.
Are the addresses grouped (maybe separated by an empty row??) If one of the lines is missing, is it always the same? If you're missing one of the lines, is there anyway to determine which one is missing? vdemar wrote: What if some addresses have more or less then 5 lines?? -- Dave Peterson |

There is always only one line in between the addresses...Its just that some of the addresses have multiple phone numbers |

copypaste specialtranspose will convert rows to column format or vice-versa. -- julie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ julie's Profile: http://www.officehelp.in/member.php?userid=236 View this thread: http://www.officehelp.in/showthread.php?t=697784 Visit - http://www.officehelp.in | http://www.officehelp.in/archive/index.php | http://www.officehelp.in/index/index.php |
