A macro could be much faster when doing that many sheets.

Hi,

4000 rows of data would probably be quicker to manipulate in this way
manually than it would be to write some kind of formula/VBA.

How often do you need to do this?

Hi, well I forgot to mention I have about 20 worksheets of the same type
which all need collating into one column in each worksheet. To add, I
get this about twice a month so a formula would be of great help, doing
in manually is undesirable really.

Thanks
