How to turn report data into a list
I regularly get sent a report that needs modifying to make it into a list so
that it can be analysed. I have found and used or recorded macros to get rid of some of the problems but the final formatting is beyond me because I'm more of an interested amateur than a pro. The problem is that each record is on multiple rows and I need to get them all onto single rows. The format for each record is: Header1, Header1, Header1 DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB Header2, Header2, Header2 DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB, DetailsB DetailsC, DetailsC, DetailsC, DetailsC, DetailsC The is only ever one header row but there are any number of details rows. I would like to get to: Header1, Header1, Header1, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA Header1, Header1, Header1, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA Header2, Header2, Header2, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA Header2, Header2, Header2, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA Header2, Header2, Header2, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA, DetailsA I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any suggestions. Cheers, Mark |

How to turn report data into a list
Hi
First problem is to identify which rows are header rows. Is there anything in every header row that is not in any detail row? Maybe there is blank space between each record?? regards Paul On Feb 1, 5:49*am, MarkN wrote: I regularly get sent a report that needs modifying to make it into a list so that it can be analysed.

How to turn report data into a list
Thanks Paul,
There are no blank rows at all in the entire block of data. The header rows are always bold. The details rows always begin with d/mm/yyyy in column A. Will that help?
