Default data manipulation question

I've got an almost 1800 line spreadsheet in Excel. I've got to manipulate
data in it for a client. I'm needing to do the following in Excel

1. begin searching at the top of the file
2. check the check / manipulate the contents of 3 adjacent columns, ie:

____________
| A | B | C |
----------------
| | X | Y |
----------------
| | X | |
----------------
| | | |
----------------
| | X | |
----------------
| | X | Y |
----------------

3. column A is always blank
4. if column C has data in it, then
4a. move column B data to column A
4b. move column C data to column B

____________
| A | B | C |
----------------
| X | Y | |
----------------
| | X | |
----------------
| | | |
----------------
| | X | |
----------------
| X | Y | |
----------------

5. continue searching from the current location until the end of the file

Any takers on this one? Otherwise, I'm gonna have to hand move 2 cells of
data almost 1700 times.

Thanks,
