Default converting data in colums to rows

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.

I want to convert this to the following format

drawing 1, desc 1, desc 2, ref1
drawing 1, desc 1, desc 2, ref2
drawing 1, desc 1, desc 2, ref3
drawing 1, desc 1, desc 2, ref4


Any ideas??

Hi Evad,

With the data selected, try:

Data | Text to Columns A Delimited | Next |
Select the Comma delimiter | Finish

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

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.

The data is actually in Excel in different colums. see below

A B C D E F
G
drawing 1 | desc 1 | desc2 | ref1 | ref2 | ref3 | ref4 |


I want to convert this to the following format
A B C D
drawing 1 | desc 1 | desc 2 | ref1
drawing 1 | desc 1 | desc 2 | ref2
drawing 1 | desc 1 | desc 2 | ref3
drawing 1 | desc 1 | desc 2 | ref4

Hi Evad,

Are there always four ref columns?

The existing data comprises multiple rows?
