Okay this is for the bright ones out there, or is it easy?
I have a lot of text in cells all scattered along the same Row but it's not aligned into the same Column. The macro can know easily what column it goes into (again without changing the row which all stays together) because the first part of the text is named like the Column. For example if the text says "Name John" then it needs to be placed in the Column that says "Name." So in other words the Macro would take all the contents of this cell just because it starts with "Name" and place the whole thing "Name John" into the Column that says "Name" without moving it outside the original row. There are about 30 different Columns and they change for each project/worksheet so I need a Macro where I can choose the new Column names and the text is scanned and placed into the respective named columns. Is this too tough a job for this site? Example: Text before Sorting Name Car House Name John Car Chevy House Ranch Car Ford Name Mary a blank cell House Blue Car Chrysler Name Bob After Macro Sort Column Rearrange Name Car House Name John Car Chevy House Ranch Name Mary Car Ford an actual blank cell (nothing here at all) Name Bob Car Chrysler House Blue As you can see sometimes there is no value for a column or row and that's okay and should stay blank since it has no name that matches the Column Name So I should be able to make a list 1. A 2. B 3. C 4. etc. and the Macro/code would know that the terms in the list are the new Columns which means, too, it is also the beginning words of the text in the cells to be rearranged. |
