The spreadsheet has many rows and needs a macro.

The name and account number are in column A and B on the first row
encountered and the

A1 B1
2077 David Aaronson

C2 D2 E2 F2 G2
H2
Amount Due: $269.34 Balances by Age: $269.34 $0.00 $0.00

So I want to move the data in A1 and B1 to A2 and B2 and then delete row 1
then do the same thing for the next name until all the names are
processed.

Perhap I have not understood. let me see you have
a,s ,d,f,g,h
in A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1
now you want to bring down only a and s to the next row
then you highlight A1 B1 and right click
click <insert
choose<shift cells down
clcik ok
only a and s will be shifted down others d,f,g,h will remain in first
row
the first two cells in the first row will be blank
so firsts row can be deleted.
if you highlight the entries in the first column and edit-goto-blanks
the blanks in the first column will be hightlighted and you can delete
those
rows.
if you have large data you can create a macro


suppose you want to shift the whole row down
then you select A1
righclick click<insert
choose both
<shift cells down and <entire row
then the whole first row comes down by one row and the first row will be
blank
after you have done all the operations you can sort (e.g. according to
first
column) then the blank rows will come after the entered rows;

do this experiment in a new spreadsheet you will get hang of it.
then you can use this expereince to your problem.

If you have large data to manipulate you can create a macro of these
steps
in either case and then modify to suit you.
