I have data in 50 columns and 30 rows.
I would like to know how to either copy or move the data in the next columns
to the next row of the previous column without using "copy and paste" because
there are too many columns and I think there is a better way to do this.

What I mean is that I want to have only one column combining all data from
50 different columns into one column.

So it looks like this after moving or copying the data from columns into one
column.

column A
------------
A1
....
A30
B1 ( data in the column B is now in the next row in the column A at the 31st
row)
....
B30
......
....
AX1 ( data in the column AX is now in the next row in the column A at the
1471st row)

....
Ax30



Thank you
Jim

One play ..

Assume source data is in Sheet1, A1:AX30

In Sheet2

Put in A1:

=OFFSET(INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&CHAR(INT((ROWS(Sheet1!$ A$1:A1)-1)/30)+65)&"1"),MO
D(ROWS(Sheet1!$A$1:A1)-1,30),)

Copy A1 down to A780

(Above strips cols A to Z)

Put in A781:

=OFFSET(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A"&CHAR(INT((ROWS(Sheet1! $A$1:A1)-1)/30)+65)&"1"),M
OD(ROWS(Sheet1!$A$1:A1)-1,30),)

Copy A781 down to A1500

(Above strips cols AA to AX)

Jim,

Put this in A31, and copy down.

=OFFSET(A31,-(INT((ROW()-1)/30))*30,INT((ROW()-1)/30),1,1)

Empty cells will give you zero. You can then convert the formulas to hard
data: Copy the entire column, then paste it over itself with Edit - Paste
special - Values. Now you don't need the stuff in columns B, C, etc.

Much neater, Earl !

Perhaps with just a typo corrected, in A31, copied down to A1530:
=OFFSET(A31,-(INT((ROW()-1)/30))*30,INT((ROW()-1)/30)-1,1,1)

Max,

Actually, it wasn't a typo. Your version captured the entire table. Mine
only started after the first column of 30 cells, A1:A30, picking up the
remaining (column B and on), putting it starting in A31. A1:A30 would
remain. Just a little lazy. My intent was to use the formulas to grab
columns B:AD, and delete them after the formula cells had been converted to
hard values with paste special - values. Lotsa ways to git 'r done (Larry
the cable guy).

Ah, I see it now. Sorry for the earlier mis-interp, Earl.
I was wondering where the deuce the formula extract for A1:A30 went to <g

Max,

Actually, I think your change is the better, more generalized, solution. It
gets the entire table, not just the remainder. A bit neater and cleaner.

Thanks for the view !
Interesting site btw, and I don't mean just the Excel part of it <g
Liked the short 20% demo on "Car wash" ..
