I have a sheet that has been setup that shows a list of documents in one
cloumn and 4 rows are dedicated to indicating reference documents. ie drawing 1, desc 1, desc2, ref1, ref2, ref3, ref4 where ',' represents a different column.

Hi Evad,
There is a typo. The response should have read: With the data selected, try: Data | Text to Columns | Delimited | Next | Select the Comma delimiter | Finish --- Regards, Norman "Norman Jones" wrote in message ...

My data is not comma delimited. the comma represents a different column.

Hi Evad,
My data is not comma delimited. the comma represents a different column Then try replacing the comma delimiter with one that accords with your data. If this is not feasible, you would need to provide more information about the layout of the raw data. --- Regards, Norman "Evad" wrote in message ...

Hi Evad,
Are there always four ref columns? The existing data comprises multiple rows? --- Regards, Norman "Evad" wrote in message ...
