Hi,

Simplest way is as follows.

1. Copy your data as below and paste into B2. This will result in a
single column of data. 2. Now select column B and from the menu choose
-- Data, Text to Columns, select the Delimited option button, then
Next and in the Other Box enter the colon ':' symbol, then Next and
choose the 'Text option and then Finish.

You should now have all your data in two columns with the field
headings in column B and the variable data in column B.

3. Now copy your 4 field headings into E1:H1
4. put the following formula in A2 and copy down
=INT(ROW()/6+1)&B2
This will create a unique ID for each row, comprising the 1st, 2nd
3rd, etc block of data plus the field name. Note the divisor 6 would
need to be altered if there were more or less than two blank rows
between each set of data.

5. Put the following formula in E2
=VLOOKUP(ROW()-1&E$1,$A:$C,3,FALSE)
and copy this across to H2 and down as many rows as you have sets of
data.

All your data should now be lined up in columns E:H w

If you have any problems and want to send me the file, email it to


Hope this helps,
