And it is consistent down column A?

Any blank rows between each set?

If no blank rows, in B1 enter =INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*3+COLUMNS($A:B)-1)

Copy across to D1.

Select B1:D1 and copy down until you get zeros showing up.

Copy the range and Paste Special as Values.

Select Column D and DataText to ColumnsDelimited By.

Checkmark "Comma" and "Other". Enter a period in "Other" and Finish.

If a blank row between each set change the formula to

=INDEX($A:$A,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*4+COLUMNS($A:B)-1) and drag across to E1

Delete column E because it will have zeros all the way down.

I have inherited a list of lables (8 pages long) and I'd like to put them
into a spreadsheet. Is there a way to take a basic lable that's already got
data and convert it into the fields? ie: name, city, state, etc. without
having to retype everything?
