Default Sorting/Moving Data

I have an Excel worksheet with many rows of data I that I will need to
sort/anyalyze. The data is from accident reports and has columns with
information about the accident (location, weather, speed, injury, vehicle
type). If mulitple vehicle were involved in the accident, it lists
information for the second vehicle in the next row. The information it shows
for the second vehicle is only a partial row of data (speed, injury, and
vehicle type, it does not repeat info such as location and weather).
However, I need to move the information about the second vehicle to the
previous row, next to the first vehicle. I am dealing with a large amount of
data (sometimes 1500 rows). Is there a way to automate this process to move
the information. Also depending on the accident, sometimes there is more
than one vehicle involved, so there is no set pattern to the worksheet.
(i.e. full info row, partial info row, full info row, partial row, etc.) I
understand this may not be the clearest explanation and if you need
clarification of my question, please feel free to ask. I sincerely
appreciate feedback that anyone can provide. Thank you.

Well one thing that I don't understand is you say:
type). If mulitple vehicle were involved in the accident, it lists
information for the second vehicle in the next row.


but you want to:
However, I need to move the information about the second vehicle to the
previous row, next to the first vehicle.

Do you meant in the same row as the 1st vehicle starting from the end of the
1st vehicle's data? What about the columns headers to make sense of the
data?

Also:
the information. Also depending on the accident, sometimes there is more
than one vehicle involved, so there is no set pattern to the worksheet.
(i.e. full info row, partial info row, full info row, partial row, etc.)


Is there anything that identifies whan a new set of accident data starts?

Sandy,

1. Yes you are correct, that is how I want the data in the same row as the
1st vehicle starting from the end of the 1st vehicle's data. I have column
headings setup for the second vehicle.

2. Each accident is assigned a unique number. Each report has one full line
of data (for the first vehicle) while the secondary vehicle has a partial row
of data.

Let me know if it would be easier for me to send you an example. Thanks for
your reply.

Yes by all means send me an example workbook to make sure that I have got my
head around what it is that you want to do, just change the address in my
signature as it says.
