Moving Related Fields
 
I have a very large worksheet that is seperated between item codes and the
categories related to those items. However, the way the worksheet comes
pre-formated:

3160WW AUD3000
3160WW AUD4000
3160WW AUD6000
3170WX SAM1300

I want to move all the related categories into seperate fields:

3160WW AUD3000 AUD4000 AUD 6000
3170WX SAM1300

How do I do this in excel? I know access a little if I need to do it in that.
Also I would want to add the additional text "PC" to the item codes: PC3160WW


Thanks, please send me an e-mail if you have a fix to this delima at
pcelite2 @ (no spam) yahoo.com THANKS.

PC,

The data is currently in a "normalized" format. Usually, it's not a good
idea to break it up the way you're describing. It would be better for you to
figure out how to use the data in the current format. If you're having
trouble doing that, post your question. I'm sure someone will help out and
you'll be a lot better off in the long run.

However, if you *really* want to proceed you could sort it and do a lot of
copy/paste.

It's alot of data. Is there nothing that simply will move the fields where I
want them? I have no choice as to what format it comes in, and copy/paste is
not an option.
