Long List of Numbers sorting
Help Please!
I have a list of 30,000 alpha-numeric numbersin column "A". I would like to write a formula that would extract the info in A1 and A10, and repeat that every 10 numbers. In this example, I would want B1 to return D5F3M1-D5F3N1, The first number and the last number in that range. Then C1 would return D5F3N2-D5F3P2, and so on. The last thing I would like to ask is how to write a formula to summarize this info on a separate sheet. Example: Info on Sheet 1 in B1 & B2, D1 & D2, to display on Sheet 2 A1 & A2, and Sheet A4 & A5 Example to follow. D5F3M1 D5F3M2 D5F3M3 D5F3M4 D5F3M5 D5F3M6 D5F3M7 D5F3M8 D5F3M9 D5F3N1 D5F3N2 D5F3N3 D5F3N4 D5F3N5 D5F3N6 D5F3N7 D5F3N8 D5F3N9 D5F3P1 D5F3P2 Sincerely, Tom Perry |

Long List of Numbers sorting
Assuming your data starts in A1 and goes down to A30000, put this
formula in B1: =INDEX($A$1:$A$30000,COLUMNS($B1:B1)*10-9)&"-"&INDEX($A$1:$A $30000,COLUMNS($B1:B1)*10) (all one formula - be wary of line-breaks, which sometimes inserts unwanted hyphens). Then copy this formula across into C1 up to whatever. Unless you are using Excel 2007, you will probably run out of columns before you get to the end of your list. If you want to put the ranges in B1 downwards, use this variation: =INDEX($A$1:$A$30000,ROW()*10-9)&"-"&INDEX($A$1:$A$30000,ROW()*10) I don't understand your final question, so I can't help you with that. Hope this helps. Pete On Jun 6, 10:00 pm, talltom wrote: Help Please! I have a list of 30,000 alpha-numeric numbersin column "A".

Thank you very much, these formulae work better than slicing melted butter. :) About my second question; The last thing I would like to ask is how to write a formula to summarize this info on a separate sheet. Example: Info on Sheet 1 in B1 & B2, D1 & D2, to display on Sheet 2 A1 & A2, and Sheet A4 & A5 Sheet1! and part of Sheet2! On my list of 30K, I first copied and pasted 200 #'s in B1, and in C1 wrote the formula =SUM(B1), then in C2 I wrote =SUM(B200), and repeated this 150 times. Then on Sheet3! so I could print all 150 pairs of answers on one sheet to easily reference. I wrote starting in B1; I wrote Down 13 sets of 3 rows, then over to the right starting in D1, D2, etc. 12 times to get all 150 pairs of answers. Column A1 1 =SUM(Sheet1!B1) and =SUM(Sheet1!B2) Column A4 Blank Row 2 =SUM(Sheet1!D1) and =SUM(Sheet1!D2) Etc. I was looking for an easier way to get the info from Sheet1! and Sheet2! onto my summary sheet; Sheet3! This took me about 2 hours. I think there is an easier way to do this. Sorry for being so wordy.

The INDEX formulae worked great!!! Thank You very Much!! About my second question; The last thing I would like to ask is how to write a formula to summarize this info on a separate sheet. Example: Info on Sheet 1 in B1 & B2, D1 & D2, to display on Sheet 2 A1 & A2, and Sheet 2 A4 & A5, with a blank row between A2 & A4 Sheet1! and part of Sheet2! On my list of 30K, I first copied and pasted 200 #'s in B1, and in C1 wrote the formula =SUM(B1), then in C2 I wrote =SUM(B200), and repeated this 150 times. Then on Sheet3! so I could print all 150 pairs of answers on one sheet to easily reference. I wrote starting in B1; I wrote Down 13 sets of 3 rows, then over to the right starting in D1, D2, etc. Repeated 12 times to get all 150 pairs of answers. Column A1 1 =SUM(Sheet1!B1) and =SUM(Sheet1!B2) Column A4 Blank Row 2 =SUM(Sheet1!D1) and =SUM(Sheet1!D2) Etc.
