Transfer data from Excel col. A to columns B-E in the same sheet
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet with only one column of player data: column
A. The first three data items in column A are the same for every player: Name, Address and Phone. Every player also has at least one comment but could have any number of comments. Each players data is separated from the next by a blank cell in column A. Sometimes, a players last few comments are blank resulting in multiple blank cells in column A before the data for the next player starts. I need help writing an Excel 2003 VBA macro to: 1. Copy just the players name, but not the Name: label, to column B as shown. 2. Copy just the address, but not the Address: label, to column C 3. Copy just the phone, but not the Phone: label, to D 4. Combine all of the players comments, but not the original Comment: label, into one paragraph and paste into E. Repeat the above process, ignoring any blank rows separating the players, for all the player data in column A. A B C D E Name:John John Main St 555-1212 Plays 1st base. Plays 2nd Address:Main St Jane Center St 555-1213 Catches well. Has played center. Phone:555-1212 Comment:Plays 1st base Plays 2nd Name:Jane Address:Center St Phone:555-1213 Comment:Catches well Has played center. I've been able to do the easy stuff, repositioning the column headings etc. but the variable number of comments entries is giving me trouble as is removing the labels and colons(:) that precede the data. I'm guessing that the latter is done with a find to find the colon(:) but then how do I copy all the characters to the right? Thanks is advance for any ideas. Jack |
