Hi all,
I have an Excel spreadsheet of product details (around 1,500) that I need to re-format via a macro. The problem I have is that each product has several urls (up to 8 in total) that point to different photographs of the product in question however each url is on a different line within the spreadsheet and I need to put them in sequential order on one line. Ideally, I would then want to delete the lines on the spreadsheet where the url information has been moved from. This is a simple representation of how the spreadsheet looks at the moment: A B C D 1 Productid 1 url1 2 Productid 1 url2 3 Productid 1 url3 4 Productid 2 url1 5 productid 2 url2 Each line contains exactly the same product information except for the column containing the URL (in the above example column B) which changes. I need to move all the urls that correspond to each product onto the same line and in sequence. For example: for productid 1, url2 (b2) needs to move to c1 and url3 (b3) needs to move to d1. Now that there are no further urls that correspond to productid 1, the macro would continue on and apply the procedure to productid 2 in which url2 (b5) needs to move to c4. Note: a product may have up to 8 associated urls. Example: A B C D 1 Productid 1 url1 *url2* *url3* 2 Productid 1 url2 3 Productid 1 url3 4 Productid 2 url1 *url2* 5 productid 2 url2 Once the url has been moved to the first line for each productid, this additional line is no longer required and needs to be deleted. I should therefore be left with the following data once the macro has finished running (i.e. lines 2,3 and 5 in the above example): A B C D 1 Productid 1 url1 url2 url3 2 Productid 2 url1 url2 Could anybody point me in the right direction in terms of achieving this. The deletion of redundant lines is not a major problem (this can be done manually by applying a filter afterwards) however would be nice. The main sticking point is moving the urls to the first product line. Thank you in advance for your help! |
