Hello,

We currently receive analysis data from a contractor on an excel
spreadsheet that contains more information than we need. I would also
like to rearrange the data into another excel spreadsheet that is
easier for me to look at the data. We reenter the data into a paradox
database( Yes, it is archaic) that is very difficult to change the
format.

Is there a way to automatically rearrange and transfer the data to
another excel spreadsheet via a macro, xml, etc? My experience with
excel is limited and I only know basic functions. Thank You.

Would help to see a small example of the data involved. Have you considered
a Pivot table?

You can use an Advanced Filter to extract some of the data to another
