![]() 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. -- Exceloficio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Exceloficio's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30940 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=506135 |

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

You can use an Advanced Filter to extract some of the data to another
sheet. There are instructions in Excel's Help, and he http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html Exceloficio wrote: Hello, We currently receive analysis data from a contractor on an excel spreadsheet that contains more information than we need.
