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. |

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. "Sandy Mann" wrote: Well one thing that I don't understand is you say: type).

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.

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. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "jaroady" wrote in message ...
