Hi!

I have an Excel file in which all my data is in 1 column but on a lot
of rows. I want to restructure it to more columns instead. Like this
example:


NOW I HAVE:
Field 1A Header1
Field 2A Data1
Field 3A Header2
Field 4A Data2
Field 5A Header3
Field 6A Data3

I WANT IT LIKE THIS:
Field 1A Header1
Field 2A Data1
Field 1B Header2
Field 2B Data2
Field 1C Header3
Field 2C Data3


Of course I have a lot of more data under each header, but it is number
of data rows are ambigous.

Is that possible by using some sort of script or macro?

Regards

Pich

Hi,
How do identify a header versus data row as a assume the number of
data rows per header is different?

The header does not have a specific identifier, only its name. Their are
a couple of repeating headers with a various number of data rows.
Example:

Header1
Data1
Data2
Data3

Header2
Data1
Data2

Header3
Data1
Data2
Data3
Data4
Data5
Data6

Header1
Data1

Header2
Data1
Data2
Data3
Data4

Header3
Data1
Data2
Data3

and so on....

Hi,
Try this as a starter. It works by assuming the data is always
numeric and the header is not - which I guess is probably wrong so you will
need to change the "loop until ..." test to determine the header. I still
wasn't sure from your reply how I would identify the header.

This code also assumes there are no blank rows between sets of data; again
if this isd not true, the logic will need to be changed.

If this doesn't work, send me a sample of your data.
)

HTH

Sub Rows2Columns()

Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim outrng As Range

Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1") ' <==== change to your tab name (input)
Set ws2 = Worksheets("Sheet2") ' <==== Change to your tab name (output)
Set outrng = ws2.Range("a1")

With ws1
lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
sr = 1
r = 2
Do While r < lastrow
Do
r = r + 1
' Tests for header being non-numeric == change to suit your data
' i.e. how do we know this a header row?
' and terminates on last cell being blank i.e. no embedded blanks in
list
Loop Until Not IsNumeric(.Cells(r, 1)) Or .Cells(r, 1) = ""

.Cells(sr, 1).Resize(r - sr, 1).Copy outrng
sr = r
r = r + 1
Set outrng = outrng.Offset(0, 1)
Loop

End With

End Sub
