HELP....Is there a way to automate copy/paste special/transpose -
Hello!
I have one column of names, address, etc. 6 rows per person...so, every sixth row is a new person/contact. I can go down contact by contact and copy/paste special/transpose and paste across the board so that each contact info is separated into it's own column...but there are several hundred contacts...is there a way to automate this so that it checks the web/query...paste the new contacts at bottom of list but in columns not rows.. EX. My name Company address1 address2 work / fax: 1234567890 / 1234567890 email address new name2 company2 address12 address22 work / fax: 1234567892 / 1234567892 email address2 ETC.... What it should be is A B C D E F E My name Company address1 address2 work / fax: 1234567890 / new name2 company2 address12 address22 work / fax: 1234567892 / F G 1234567892 email address2 AND WITH THE WEB QUERY IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE AT THE END OF THE LIST/ROW... Any suggestions would be great!!! Do not want to have to do this manually... Thanks! 1234567890 email address |

One way
Assuming data is in col A, A1 down, in groups of 6 lines each (as posted) Put in B1: =OFFSET($A$1,ROWS($A$1:A1)*6-6+COLUMNS($A$1:A1)-1,) Copy B1 across to G1, fill down until zeros appear signalling exhaustion of data -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Mel" wrote in message ...

One issue...it seems to be skipping every other contact...
Strange, as it seems to work ok here, tested on the sample data assumed in A1:A18 In A1: My name1 ..... In A18: email address3 Maybe try again ? If it still skips, email me a sample book and I'll take a look -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Mel" wrote in message ... Thank you very much Max!!!

Glad to hear you got it to work!
First column with names...need to sep. into 2 columns EX. LastName, Max If we're doing this as a continuation of the earlier re-arrangement into cols, we've got to either kill the formulas in col A (in-situ copy paste special as values) or work on a copied pasted special as values in another sheet One way to try for the split of col A into 2 cols Insert a new empty col next to col A (this is to receive the right half of the split data) Select col A Click Data Text to Columns Next (Delimited will be selected) In step 2, Enter a comma in the box for "Other" Click Finish -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- |
